Agreed with the review below. Often times quite bleak, but in every scene, somehow, hope shines through. A testament to the human spirit.
Laura Linney and Phillip Seymour Hoffman (one of my favorites), of course, are a joy to watch.
Great writing, great, well-developed characters. A bit slow at times, but recommended.

I thought this was a sad and touching movie, with something to say to anyone who is caring for or preparing to care for an older parent.

Thinking back on it, I feel that the cold and grey hang over almost everything that occurs.

Buffalo apparently symbolizes the new bleak.
