You Can Count on Me – 2000 Lonergan
- Kenneth Lonergan’s debut- an undoubtedly gifted writer
- Gratifying setting– small-town America
- Glowing 4 stars from Travers and Ebert
- Rich characterizations and performances from Laura Linney, Mark Ruffalo, Matthew Broderick and the young Rory Culkin – Linney is wonderful- this is the first of three nominations for her—and this is a coming out for the revelatory Ruffalo. He’s wounded, vulnerable, a little dangerous- this would be Ruffalo’s second best performance to date behind 2007’s Zodiac
- Between drama we get a little bit of a moody score and Bach with shots of the small town and country side
- These people are lost, Linney’s character balancing so much, the pain of their lost parents, Ruffalo’s character is a child
- Impeccable screenplay and acting
- Recommend
