The Savages dvd is funny in the if-you-didnt-laugh-youd-cry way and superbly acted by all involved Most of all about recovering, about picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, and plugging on. It also just happens to be, in its small, astutely observed, delicately bittersweet way, one of the best films of the year. At its best, The Savages captures the lunacy that comes with coping with sorrow. One of those small, perfectly crafted, bittersweet family dramas it touches on so many truths it’s almost painful to watch at times. Assured and sharp, The Savages is only Jenkins second feature-length film. Youd never know it. This is a movie that is actually better upon a second viewing.
