The Savages

Only managed to see The Savages which was well worth the trip out to Carlton and beyond. Bleak, funny, and Laura Linney's neurotic Wendy is all so beautifully, softly, subtly told. The story took its time. That was the thing that stood out for me. It didn't rush a moment, it didn't mind hanging around longer than "a good scene" should. It's something I'm going to think about for a really long time. Oh, and Philip Seymour Hoffman is a fucking genius.
