This is a good film, but slow. Peter Falk's makeup is excellent, but D.B. Sweeney's is not; at times when he is supposed to be younger, he looks older than in later scenes when he is supposed to be older but looks younger than he does earlier...huh?

I did not expect Beth to die, and IMO the movie hung on too long after that. I think it was about 1/2 hour overbaked.

The main elements of the movie hang together. The writer did a good job of paying attention to his own work (sounds easy, but just try watching "Pushing Tin").

The film did a good job of presenting the value of family. Such loyalty is always welcome.

This is, as I said, a good film.
