7/10
Very well written.

Warning: Spoilers
This is not a movie about beautiful scenery or flashy special effects. It is a movie about dialogue with the interactions of family members the focal point. To some that might seem slow or boring, but the story that is told is a thinking person's movie. Written by one of the stars of the movie and very well directed by another actor of note (Stephen Moyer) this is a movie that is well worth watching. For viewers of my vintage it is awkward seeing Mary Richards boss looking so old and frail, so different from his role as Lou Grant.

Denis O'Hare has done a great job with this story and gives an excellent performance. The subject can be a bit depressing, but it is also an honest telling of a story that most people will at least be able to understand.

The only concern I had is that the movie does have an abrupt ending. Obviously by design so as to not resolve every issue that arises during their journey.

Be aware that this is not a feel good movie. But it is a good movie.
