Ultimately, the experience is a mishmash of challenging story beats and multifaceted character moments, paired with an equal number of predictable twists and flat cliched personalities.

Philipp Seymour Hoffman stars in this family drama next to Laura Linney as siblings. They have to unite to support their father who after the death of his girlfriend finds himself alone.
