| | Movie Haiku: | Thirtysomething Manhattanite (Linney) puts her own life on hold when her estranged father (Bosco) succumbs to dementia. Caring for him with a brother she knows only slightly better (Hoffman) becomes life-changing for both of them. Jan''s agog, but while Rich loved performances, he found frequent "shifts-of-tone" between comedy & tragedy disorienting. |
