Scott R @ScottR Aug 31, 2026 NYT 1000 films. An enjoyable drama that eventually I stopped caring about part way through and found myself losing interest. It was progressive in its themes in confronting conventional values and showing how they don’t always make sense. The characters and their motivations were frustrating, but I guess that’s why they were there to create drama. Ultimately, the film won’t stand the test of time and will be forgotten. I don’t want to see it again. Saw on Pluto.

The movie tries to tell you how to feel instead of showing it. Some people resonate with that. I found it hollow.

Id say it’s a comedy and a drama, there’s a lot of humor to be found in this story of grief. See more darren m @DarrenM Jan 27, 2026 Just terrific. And I'm hard to please. Watch it alone somewhere quiet and cozy. The direction is wonderful. The screenplay is funny, yet dramatic and realistic. The film's many awards and nominations are deserved. While there are a couple of slightly unrealistic situations, the acting and dialogue never falter. This is the far superior little brother to Manchester By the Sea. Kinda a must see, if you ask me.

See more Mason M @RT73597940 Nov 9, 2025 I've seen plenty of these kinds of depictions of rural small town America, and this is easily one of the best of those. You Can Count on Me was gorgeous, incredibly entertaining, hilarious, emotional, riveting, and just incredible. This was my first rodeo with Kenneth Lonergan, and I really loved what I saw. His writing was really great in his characters and his beautifully real yet entertaining dialogue (and he does a wonderful job in his cameo). The three lead performances were also all just incredible. Laura Linney always does great in everything she's in. And Matthew Brodrick was absolutely hysterical in this film, his characters was perfect for his personality and mannerisms. And the story was a really enjoyable watch. It's a beautiful exploration of relationships and general American boredom, pulled off in a story that always kept me encapsulated following characters Lonergan really gets me to care about. I have nothing but praise for You Can Count on Me, it's just a gorgeous film. See more Read all reviews
