Ratings and reviews

A well written account of an aging family patriarch and the relationships between him and members of his family, especially the one with his workaholic son. The two men make up for lost time when the latter flies to his childhood home in Los Angeles to help with things while his mother recovers in hospital following a heart attack. A touching movie that is suitable for the whole family to watch.
