Watching Bujold and Dern play thes eccentric, crochety grandparents is a delight. The harmony of their seething anger is beautiful to watch and the patience and tolerance of the young man is unbelievable but interesting.

Such a sad movie... great idea idea, the sadness lies in its execution. This an uncertain director, with a weak script. But, tat's not the saddest part. This cast of (mostly) young actors was ill served. Most of what could have been heartfelt moments, fell short, by about one or two takes. The director didn't ask enough of his charges.

Wonderful performances by Bruce Dern and Genevieve Bujold but stilted acting by the lead youngster. He sounded like he was just reading his lines in monotone. I read the book the week before seeing the movie and was disappointed by the movie.
