The Savages

Excellent examination of family dymanics in the face of dysfunction and dementia. A coda perhaps wraps up the film a bit too sanguinely. Or perhaps it objectifies the film's earlier distinction between plot and narrative, by asking us to recognize that the preceeding two hours have simply been unadulterated narrative, which the coda translates into a plot.
Great performances by Laura Linney and Phillip Seymour Hoffman
