I'll tell you why so serious

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Iv'e streamed this movie a few times on Netflix, and i can see how this movie can be interesting as well as depressing. Basically if you're in the mood for a drama that doesn't go anywhere, then this film will be worth watching.You Can Count On Me is realistic, but there is barely a plot here, and in all honesty movies are supposed to be an escape from everyday life, this story line does not provide that.You Can Count On Me depicts characters that have gotten caught up with simply working, and trying to get by day to day. These main characters don't have any big dreams or goals and that's okay because some people like living in a small town and working a dead end job, but it can be a bit depressing is all i'm saying.You Can Count On Me is well-acted, the directing is okay but like i said there's barely a plot. This is one of those movies with no film score, just a piece of famous classical music here and there, i like that style, but the overall movie isn't all that.

I decided to give this a go because I recently watched the director's new film, Manchester by the Sea, and loved it. This was definitely a very strong directorial debut for him. He has such a great handle on the story and the performances, especially. Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo both give some of their best work of their career, and Rory Culkin also stands out in a very noteworthy performance. It's a gentle, very observant film that really takes its time to get to know and develop its characters. There is no flashiness here, but the film is all the better for it. Lonergan has a skill for taking the mundane and changing it to become something of simplistic beauty. Even though I wasn't a huge fan of Margaret, it was evident in that film too. Really strong debut.

Sammy Prescott (Laura Linney) is the lending officer of the small local bank in Scottville, New York. Terry Prescott (Mark Ruffalo) is the irresponsible one who comes to town looking for money. They lost their parents at a young age and Sammy has always taken care of Terry. She has a son Rudy (Rory Culkin). She hates his father but she's coy about it to him. Bob Steegerson (Jon Tenney) is her boyfriend and Brian Everett (Matthew Broderick) is the new demanding bank manager. With Brian looking over her shoulders, Sammy is forced to let Terry take care of Rudy.This movie works because Linney and Ruffalo can project their sibling relationship right from the start. The script brings it out of the actors from the first moment they meet. Then the movie allows these two characters to expand and show different layers. They are infinitely fascinating and compelling to the last frame.

A single mother (Laura Linney)'s life is thrown into turmoil after her struggling, rarely-seen younger brother (Mark Ruffalo) returns to town.This is a pretty simple story grounded by some solid acting. Mark Ruffalo never fails, and is one of the best actors working today. Sooner or later everyone will recognize him for the genius he is. Laura Linney, likewise, is incredible, and far bigger than she is generally given credit for. We also get Rory Culkin, and that is not a bad thing.Unfortunately, the casting of Matthew Broderick just kills this picture and drops it down a notch. Broderick works well in certain roles, but this is not one of them. He just comes off as too chipper, too nice and it does not line up well with the character he is portraying.
