The Savages (2007)

I enjoyed this film a lot. The authenticity and dialogue are at such a high level. There is so much subtlety that the bleak and melancholy feelings feel entirely desired and constructed but not too constructed. I thought this movie did wonders. 9 from me.

9/10 - steven

I'm gonna go with a 5.5/10 on the savages. I really like the opening scene in sun city Arizona and I liked the ironic stuff that was funny but not laugh out loud funny, but I thought a lot of the rest of it was really bleak and melancholy which I understand was the aim of the movie but I don't know if I would wanna watch it again. Philip Seymour Hoffman is still a stud.

5.5/10 -dylan

Both Hoffman and Linney are studs might I add. - steven
