Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Kids Are All Right (2010)

This is one of those movies that I liked immediately and know that I will only love more with repeated viewings.

There's just so much going on here -- such richness from everyone single one of the five principals. And although no one can be faulted for their acting, Annette Bening just WOWED me. Her temper and pride just a thin sheen over her vulnerability...I mean, seriously. Wow.

The film is just chock-full of moments of beauty and humor that served a story that is both powerful and authentic. A simply terrific film.
