A wonderful, nuanced drama with quietly intense performances from its four principal characters, particularly the underrated Richard Jenkins; what begins as the study of a mundane man becomes a warm-hearted and affecting look at post 911 attitudes; unseemingly at first, these strong characters grow and become something rather special. I found myself astonishingly caught up in this simple, sublime and not altogether happy tale that never once feels manufactured or phony. Final Grade: A
