Anyone seen this film? I watched it recently and thought it was really good.

It's set in New York in 1986 and is about a family going through a divorce. Jeff Daniels and Laura Linney (the parents) are both brilliant, as are the two actors playing their sons.

I haven't seen a film for a long time with such well rounded characters, each with their own perfectly portrayed flaws. A very absorbing, emotionally satisfying film.

No! I wanted to see it but I think the Showroom have stopped showing it and UGC didn't pick it up. Guess will have to wait for the DVD.

Thanks Pilon (although the website times are wrong!!!!!)

Went to see this afternoon. Was good although all the hype had led me to believe it would be better. c'est la vie.
