Then Sunday night we watched Everybody's Fine, in which widower Robert DeNiro learns that his kids routinely lie to him about how they're doing, out of fear of dissappointing him. The film was marketed as a mild comedy of family dysfunction, but it's really a drama, & despite its smooth, serene pace, it packs more of a punch than might be expected. There's a moment near the end, when DeNiro is shown a painting, that jerks tears fair & square.
