Marvin's Room

Any movie with Meryl Streep is an occasion, but when you add Diane Keaton, Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio, Hume Cronyn and Gwen Verdon, you've got an embarrassment of riches. The main strength of this film is not its message, but rather its rich characterizations.

This was very heartfelt. The characters were all so well done, you couldn’t help but empathize with each one as much as you understood their faults.

“We were never that close”
“We weren’t?” That exchange sticks in my head, lee’s look of shock was so genuine

This movie was truly exceptional, telling a poignant story about family reconciliation. It's a beautifully acted, unsentimental look at caregiving and the healing power of selfless love.
