In this independent comedy-drama, starring Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman, Siblings, Wendy and Jon Savage visit their father at his retirement home, after he acts out, using his fecal matter to write messages on the walls of the home. Forced to move out of the retirement home, Wendy & Jon try to find a new home for their senile father.
This is a very serious film, with comic-relief. The content isn't overly inappropriate. The main character has a prolonged sexual affair with a married man. There are few in-explicit sex-scenes, with no nudity. The language is what you would find in most R-rated films, many f--ks and s--ts. Drug content and violence isn't an issue, Wendy's brother Jon gets a neck injury few characters die, one on-screen, but not graphic.
I wouldn't recommend this film for people my age, not necessarily for inappropriateness, but for thematic elements. The theme and situations are very mature and wouldn't catch a young teenager's attention. Although this film is considered a comedy-drama, this is very much, a drama. But I do consider this appropriate for ages 14+ depending on the parent's feeling of the film.
