Full Plot Details

Adult siblings Sammy Prescott and Terry Prescott have had a special bond with each other since they were kids when their parents were tragically killed in a car accident. That bond is why single mom Sammy, who still lives in the family home in Scottsville, upstate New York with her eight year old son Rudy, is excited to hear that Terry, who she has not seen or heard from in a while, is coming home for a visit. That excitement is dampened slightly upon Terry's arrival, when she learns that he, broke, is only there to borrow money. As adults, Sammy, who works as a lending officer in the local bank, is seen as the responsible sibling, while unfocused Terry is seen as the irresponsible drifter. Regardless, Sammy welcomes what ends up being Terry's longer than planned visit if only so that he can help take care of Rudy, who has no adult male figure in his life. Rudy has never known his deadbeat biological father, with whom Sammy wants nothing to do. As Terry - acting as the supposed adult male role model figure - gets to know Rudy, and as Sammy deals with the issues in her life which includes figuring out what her relationship to longtime friend/lover Bob Steegerson means, and how to deal with her straight-laced micro-managing new boss Brian Everett, the maturity level between Sammy and Terry is not as far apart as it appears on the surface.

Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Carla MeyerIt's simply a quiet and heartbreaking look at the dynamics of one family. That's the beauty of it.
Entertainment Weekly - 10/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumBeautiful, compassionate, articulate domestic drama.
Film Journal International - 10/10 by Daniel EaganA surprising film that will reward patient viewers.
Slate - 10/10 by David EdelsteinThe best American movie of the year. Has a subtext so powerful that it reaches out and pulls you under. Even when the surface is tranquil, you know in your guts what's at stake.
PopMatters - 10/10 by Matthew SorrentoStylized showmen do Rain Man and Forrest Gump, but it takes a natural actor like Ruffalo to pull off this strange beauty.
Washington Post - 10/10 by Desson ThomsonA humanistic gem of a movie, with unforgettable performances from Linney and Ruffalo.
eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Collin Souter...feels as natural as a conversation between two people who have known each other their whole lives. One of the year's best.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversSatisfying in every respect, it's a piece of blue-collar chamber music, never treating the characters cheaply, allowing them a complex entwinement of emotions.
Newsweek - 10/10 by David AnsenIt's rare to get a good movie about the touchy adult relationship of a sister and brother. Rarer still for the director to be more fascinated by the process than the outcome. This is one of the best movies of the year.
Salon.com - 10/10 by Andrew O'HehirA subtle and often surprising study of the relationship between damaged adult siblings, full of mordant humor and dramatic invention.
