Directed by Tamara Jenkins2007 Comedy/Drama
Rated R
*** 1/2
Bravo to all three performances in this comedic take on putting a parent into a nursing home, especially Laura Linney, who got a well-deserved Oscar nomination for her performance. However, the fact of the matter is that there just isn't that much comedy to be found in dementia. Stick to the better of the two dementia films released last year, Away from Her. Oh, and another 1/2 point of for a cheesy ending to what was up to that point an ironic-type indie film.
