This is a movie you need to watch multiple times. I considered it mediocre on first viewing, but 3 years later I came back to it and I promise, it will grow on you. Duvall, Downey Jr., Farmiga, and the rest of the cast are on top of their game. The plot is intriguing, and the soundtrack is beautiful. It does an excellent job of portraying family tensions in a relatable fashion. Not a perfect movie by any means, but it has potential to be a semi-classic in coming years.

You always know when a movie can't hold it's weight when they put in the cheap sex stuff. Totally loses it's appeal. Hollywood folks need to just quit there jobs.

This was a movie that I really enjoyed watching. The acting was great and seemed to share a message to love your family members while they're here, even if they're difficult to get along with.
