Lonergan's always been especially good at finding emotional truth/clarity in the smallest of moments but there's a brief moment here where Ruffalo's character Terry, finally returning home after years of estrangement from his hometown, observes the local cemetery (where his parents are buried) just before the local town sign on his bus ride in that so simplistically yet vividly captures the fear of dying in a small town (also see: insignificance, laced with pity & regret) that I had to pause right there and take a break... Too real.

This film looks and sounds like a stereotypical, sappy film that will try and pull your heartstrings. But only one man can make this film a heartfelt, genuine piece of cinema. That man is Kenneth Lonergan. Kenny is a filmmaker that tells the truth. He knows this life, he knows these people, he knows how to be genuine with his films. He makes films to tell the stories of people with baggage. Real people. People you would meet in real life. Ordinary people.

you can count on kenneth lonergan to never be too heavy-handed with emotionally weighty material. even at the end i was like "ok here we go, someone is about to say 'you can count on me'" and no one does lol. i'm so moved by everyone's performances (linney/ruffalo/culkin specifically, and culkin more than i expected), but i especially cannot stop thinking about the scene where mark ruffalo's face suddenly crumples into a sob. mine did too.
