"Excellent performances and a warm, heartfelt tone."
3 stars

A dream cast - Meryl Streep, Diane Keaton, Leonardo "poe-faced ho" DiCaprio, Robert DeNiro - gives dramatic life to this moving family drama.

Though showing it's stage oigins, excellent performances and a warm, heartfelt tone make this a low key winner.

More proof that Leonardo is actually an actor. Or he was until he did The Man In The Iron Mask, anyway.
