Cast: Laura Linney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Philip Bosco

An irreverent, hilarious and heartbreaking story revolving around a modern American family, THE SAVAGES portrays an all-too-common dilemma: after drifting apart emotionally and geographically over the years, two siblings Wendy (Laura Linney) and Jon (Philip Seymour Hoffman) must band together to care for an elderly parent (Philip Bosco).

Expert Review:
Laura Linney double feature! Her and Phillip Seymor Hoffman star as Wendy and Jon Savage, a brother and sister who face the realities of familial responsibility as they care for their ailing father who is suffering from dementia. Not as depressing as one might think it’s an oddly funny, film about having two stunted individuals who are forced into the caring position for a father who they never quite connected with growing up. Laura Linney gives a terrific performance, which also earned her a third Oscar nomination. By Scott Youngbauer of ScreenPicks"
