Out of deep brokenness, dysfunctionality, sadness and despair comes a moment of true peace and joy.
This is truly a fantastic film. Significantly underrated yet beautiful.
The acting is superb on all counts. Without a doubt in my mind it is Katie Holmes best role. These are the kinds of roles to which she'd do well to seek to return.
But, the other roles were also exceptional. Those who have seen Newsroom will recognize two of the actors as the younger siblings in this film - Allison Pill and John Gallagher, Jr. Their current acting skills are clearly recognized and on display.
And the roles played by the consistently sound Oliver Platt and the underrated but very talented Patricia Clarkson are superb.
My wife and I have watched this every Thanksgiving since 2006. It remains the best Thanksgiving movie ever made, in our view.
