Synopsis

Few films offer as many keen observations of the frustrations and salvations of family bonds as this beautifully acted drama from writer-director Kenneth Lonergan. Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo star as siblings orphaned suddenly when their parents were killed in a car accident. As adults, Linney's character has become a responsible single mother firmly tied to her small hometown, while Ruffalo, as her drifter brother, seems always on the verge of disaster. With warmth, humor and a firm grasp on the reality of conflicted relationships, Lonergan''s script reveals the unexpected strengths and weaknesses of both characters. The superb lead actors deservedly earned many honors, including an Oscar nomination for Linney. Lonergan''s screenplay was also nominated. Matthew Broderick co-stars as Linney''s fastidious and Kenneth Lonergan---USA---2000---110 mins.

I'd bet that every family has a relative or relatives they love but would just as soon never see. Mine certainly does. You can count on me does a wonderful job of chronicling such a situation. Few family dramas ring so true.
