Rating: 3.5/4 --
An extremely rewarding film, a dark comedy that balances its acerbic wit with something much more profound and ultimately exhilarating - life in all of its beautiful, painful glory.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)
It's billed as a comedy. You may or may not find much to laugh at.

The Savages is a labored labor of love about an estranged brother and sister, who have to deal with a frail and fractious father.

Jenkins' brushstrokes of her characters are too exacting to move us more than a lifelike painting of a basket of fruit. We can be awed at the techniques, but walk away empty.

Exploring ground laid out many times before, The Savages is at times frustrating and at times emotional film that could have used a re-write.
