Additional InformationSet in a small town in upstate New York, YOU CAN COUNT ON ME looks at a brother and sister who grew up together as orphans but now face life with very different perspectives. Sammy (Laura Linney) works at the local bank. Most of her attention goes into raising her 8-year-old son, Rudy (Rory Culkin), and drifting in a tepid romance with Bob (Jon Tenney). The first disruption to her dutiful routine arrives in the form of new bank manager Brian (Matthew Broderick), intent on whipping his employees into shape. Then Sammy's wayward brother, Terry (Mark Ruffalo) shows up after a long absence, and her happiness quickly turns sour when she realizes he has only come to ask for money--again. But with all the elements for a backwater soap opera in place, the story instead becomes a subtle portrait of good intentions and fractured relationships.<BR>First-time director Ken Lonergan was already a noted Hollywood screenwriter (ANALYZE THIS), but he saved his screenplay for himself. Avoiding both big-budget maudlin and low-budget posturing, he steers COUNT ON ME straight to the gut with an artful balance of pain and comedy. A good number of excellent performances, especially by Ruffalo as the screw-up Terry, turn the film into a remarkably honest and moving experience.
ReviewsMovieline - ...[Linney] in her best screen performance....Pitch-perfect script and fine direction [by] Kenneth Lonergan..., Chicago Sun-Times - ...A film of great tender truth....This is one of the best movies of the year..., Los Angeles Times - ...Kenneth Lonergan knows what he's written and why he's written it....Even his tiniest moments ring true, which is why the ruefully funny dramatic comedy YOU CAN COUNT ON ME is such an exceptional debut..., USA Today - "...This may be the best drama about what goes on behind closed doors in Anytown, USA, since AMERICAN BEAUTY....Linney is extraordinary..." -- 3 out of 4 stars, Box Office - ...YOU CAN COUNT ON ME counts on great performances, and Linney, Ruffalo, Culkin and Broderick deliver..., Total Film - ...A pair of charismatic performances from Linney and Mark Ruffalo....Matthew Broderick is in top form....Lonergan makes every moment count..., Sight and Sound - ...What keeps the film fresh and engrossing is the perceptive, acutely observed scripting...

Must watch.
The performances drive this film. It's a realistic and often funny observation about sibling relations and life. From theatre director turn film director of Manchester by the Sea, Kenneth Lonergan slightly of hand has his themes of pain as an undercurrent in his characters run through his films. Absolutely brilliant.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
