La famille Savage

The resettling of Jon and Wendy's father causes the resettling of their own lives and forces them to examine memories they hoped were buried.

...Jenkins draws on memories of her own father’s dementia to construct a dark and gritty comedy about families, senility, loneliness and mortality, centred around two troubled lead characters.

It's up to those kids to take the high road, and The Savages charts their struggle with a humor and honesty that goes down surprisingly easy.

...a deft blend of realism, almost hyperrealism at times, and playful touches of structural whimsy.
