Dir.: Kirk Jones, US, 2009
Robert De Niro, Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell, Drew Barrymore
“A holiday movie of rare sweetness; one likely to inspire a few calls home to Mom or Dad. And De Niro, at its center, gives a performance that's perfect in its simplicity.” - Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times. “This wistful, gently moving family drama stars Robert De Niro as Frank, a retired telephone company employee and widower, who as the movie opens is eagerly preparing for a reunion with his grown children at Thanksgiving.... When Frank's high-achieving kids fail to show, he decides to visit them, embarking on a cross-country journey of often brutal self-discovery. Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell and Drew Barrymore deliver fine performances as Frank's busily self-involved children, but Everybody's Fine is De Niro's picture through and through... He turns in a subtle, poignant performance as a man who has become an alien in his own family. When he contemplates a wheeled suitcase with faint bemusement, he resembles nothing less than E.T.; he's a walking embodiment of vulnerability and loss. Everybody should see Everybody's Fine. But one piece of advice: Phone home first.” - Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post
