Movie Reviews

Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) - 10/10 by Brian GibsonMost of all about recovering, about picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, and plugging on. It also just happens to be, in its small, astutely observed, delicately bittersweet way, one of the best films of the year.
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Carina ChocanoA brutal encounter with mortality told with uncommon humanity, wit and humor.
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 10/10 by Rob ThomasThe fact that "Savages" looks at an ordinary and often inevitable part of life shouldn't obscure the fact that this is a beautifully written and wonderfully played film, capturing the nuances of family dynamics as assuredly as any film I've seen in quite
Film.com - 10/10 by Jonathan F. RichardsIt's billed as a comedy. You may or may not find much to laugh at.
Washington Times - 9/10 by Christian TotoThe Savages proves there's a rich vein of humor to be mined from the darkest of themes.
Chicago Tribune - 9/10 by Jessica ReavesA bracingly honest, funny movie about death and family that skillfully sidesteps the usual pitfalls of sentimentality and mawkishness. It’s what you might call an awards season miracle.
Washington Post - 9/10 by Ann HornadayBringing a tough, astringent wit to a subject too often wrapped in the cozy blanket of sentimentality or cute humor, Tamara Jenkins takes a frank look at the indignities of aging in The Savages, a black comedy that invites viewers to laugh or at least smile ruefully at the dying of the light.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 9/10 by Chris HewittA comedy of discomfort, The Savages is a brilliantly acted film about people who are kidding themselves, a state of being that is as funny as it is sad.
MovieFreak.com - 9/10 by Sara Michelle FettersThe film stuck, and even now almost a month later I can still savor and relish so many of the picture's minute delicacies as if I had just witnessed them for the very first time.
PopMatters - 9/10 by Bill GibronWalking precariously between real world gravitas and the far too isolated and idiosyncratic, The Savages is a wonderful premise undermined by some unnecessary pretense.
