So, I hadn’t heard much about this film until the end of year pub’s started making their top films list and this kept showing up. It’s a fairly low-budget film about New York, that plays into a lot of stereotypes: Apartment owners waiting for neighbors to die just so they can buy it and expand their apartments, relationships born just from walking dogs at the same time, bitter old grannies, modern furniture\/antique dealers and our obsession to drive upstate just to see the leaves change colors.<\/p>\n

I really like Catherine Keener and she did an amazing job, playing a very complex character.\u00a0 Granted, it’s not really a likable character, but she owned the role. The film is about two different family who’s brought together by being neighbors (1 family is neighbors with the grandmother of the other two women). It plays up stereotypes but also the fact that what we do in our everydays feels a bit mundane. Not to mention the familiar notion of worth being based upon how much someone is willing to define it in their eyes.<\/p>\n
