...are brother and sister who have to deal with a father in early dimentia. Played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman and one of my FAVORITE actors, Laura Linney, they collect Dad in Sun City*, AZ and get him into a resthome in gloomy, cold, snowy Buffalo where the brother is an egghead teacher** at a small college. Of course they learn a few things about themselves in the process.
It seemed rather self-indulgent (as in boring and going nowhere fast) for a while and I considered leaving, but I was rewarded by the end with some warming of their hard, cynical selves. Worth your time if you like these sorts of somewhat-aimless-boomer stories.
* a dozen or so miles NW of Phoenix
** one of those who knows LOTS about essentially useless subjects and who teaches classes akin to underwater basker weaving.
