There is nothing really great about this picture other than it is a contrived screenplay that leads you thru the obvious brother/sister pains of life. Laura Linney plays the "together" sister who is a single mother and works at the local savings and loan in a normal, but dull job. Her life is very organized. In walks her brother, Mark Ruffalo, who is a ****-up from day one. He is there totally to create havoc in life, but it's normal for his life. He does a couple of very unforgivable things with her son that she just rolls over and says "hey that's life". If you loved MANCHESTER BY THE SEA, this is your kind of movie. For me, this was crap.
