Family: Love & Anger Soup
In between the zombies and disasters I watched yesterday, I took time out for this family drama starring Meryl Streep, Renee Zellweger, and William Hurt.
Streep got all the award nominations, including one for an Oscar, but I felt that Zellweger gave a much better performance. The movie was really all about her character, who has to return home to care for a dying mother. In the process, she learns some new things about her parents that weren't obvious when she was growing up.
I enjoyed this film as it brings up issues that many of us will have to face or are facing. Do we put our lives on hold to care for our parents, as Ellen did? Is it right that George goes on doing things the same, even if it is his daughter now taking care of things? Was it right that Kate lived her life the way she did anyway? This is a good film about families and Zellweger was great.

| Oh, this movie is so sad. I still wonder if the mom really did it in the end or they were still pulling our leg. |
