An irreverent, hilarious and heartbreaking story revolving around a modern American family, The Savages portrays an all-too-common dilemma: after drifting apart emotionally and geographically over the years, two siblings Wendy (Laura Linney) and Jon (Philip Seymour Hoffman) must band together to care for an elderly parent (Philip Bosco).

The Savages is an underrated little masterpiece.
Braving stale Hollywood conventions, this film about a brother and a sister coming to terms with their once mean dad suffering from old age dementia delivers on every level: It's tragic, moving and even funny. Laura Linney is brilliant and Philip Seymour Hoffman once again proves that he's the actor of the moment unable to put one foot wrong.
The Savages is one to teasure. Unmissable!
Well worth a look

Everything Philip Seymour Hoffman does just now seems to be touched with genius, and Laura Linney can act too, but the real star is Philip Bosco as the father with dementia. Worth at least one viewing - a window on the reality at the end of life.
