Last night's film series movie was The Savages. I enjoyed it quite a lot. It was basically the story of a pair of siblings dealing with their father's end-of-life stuff, as well as their general life stuff. It was quite good: mostly serious with the occasional touch of humor.
One thing I didn't like about the film series was that there was a lot of laughing at inappropriate times. There were a lot of moments that were very serious, sad, weighty. But people would be laughing nonetheless. Maybe they can't be blamed too much; the previews really emphasized the funny moments. But still, some of the things about dealing with their father's dementia aren't funny, but people were still laughing.
Anyway, I recommend it.
