The basic rundown of the story is Hoffman and Linney's (Jon and Wendy Savage's) father has been diagnosed with dementia and has to be placed in a nursing home . The film chronicles their battle with and denial of the inevitability of death and the process of caring for their dying father. It's got a good mix of dark humor and sincere drama (for a lack of a better term) and does a good job in approaching a subject that is often taboo in American society. It's worth a look, add it to your queue.

If you rented it from 9th Street, I may have been the one to have it just before you. It was very smart and well-acted. Very real film. It was way better than the other dark comedy I rented, Margot at the Wedding.
