Single mother Laura Linney welcomes home her estranged brother Mark Ruffalo after being away for some time. The world-weary Ruffalo slowly bonds with her young, fatherless son. Meanwhile, her romantic relationships, both with a marriage-proposing boyfriend, and a new one with her boss at work, become more complicated. Quiet, character-driven story that draws you into the lives of people you really care about. Linney and Ruffalo are excellent, and even the director gives a good turn as Linney's pastor.
