Quotes

Amy Corinne Fairbright-Lebow: I find it odd to be experiencing such feelings of joy in association with a book that is principally a devastating account of spiritual asphyxiation.

Sweet, VERY personal movie, a little too close to life ...
30 July 2005 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

... a believably bickering family, portrayed by skilled actors, w/some wonderful ham stuff by Anne Meara and Parker Posey, and more subtle stuff from Hope Davis and Liev Schreiber. The story had a distinctly voyeuristic feel, as if the screenwriter was exorcising some history and making it more entertaining, often hilarious (and interesting?) than a painful history he may have lived through. A cinema verite re-creation by world class skilled actors. As the family's lives unravel, driving around in a freezing cold NYC winter evening, there is a quiet lingering shot of the World Trade Center that is unintentionally haunting, and gives the film (made in 1996) an unintended resonance.
