You Can Count on Me 4K 2000 Ultra HD 2160p

Storyline
Adult siblings Sammy Prescott and Terry Prescott have had a special bond with each other since they were kids when their parents were tragically killed in a car accident. That bond is why single mom Sammy, who still lives in the family home in Scottsville, upstate New York with her eight year old son Rudy, is excited to hear that Terry, who she has not seen or heard from in a while, is coming home for a visit. That excitement is dampened slightly upon Terry's arrival, when she learns that he, broke, is only there to borrow money. As adults, Sammy, who works as a lending officer in the local bank, is seen as the responsible sibling, while unfocused Terry is seen as the irresponsible drifter. Regardless, Sammy welcomes what ends up being Terry's longer than planned visit if only so that he can help take care of Rudy, who has no adult male figure in his life. Rudy has never known his deadbeat biological father, with whom Sammy wants nothing to do. As Terry - acting as the supposed adult male role model figure - gets to know Rudy, and as Sammy deals with the issues in her life which includes figuring out what her relationship to longtime friend/lover Bob Steegerson means, and how to deal with her straight-laced micro-managing new boss Brian Everett, the maturity level between Sammy and Terry is not as far apart as it appears on the surface.

User Review

The film is called You Can Count on Me, and it is very family-oriented, which is reflected in its title. Sammy and Terry lost their parents when they were children, they lost parental care and had to face many difficulties on their own. Therefore, this story once again demonstrates how important family, proper upbringing, and necessary and timely guidance are in the life of any person.

This is an independent film, what many call arthouse cinema. For some reason, most arthouse films have a somewhat pessimistic atmosphere, but this film is not like that. Although it is sad and complex, it leaves you with very positive emotions and is even inspiring in some ways.

The actors are just wonderful. The remarkable Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo play the leading roles very successfully. Incidentally, Mark Ruffalo's character reminded me of an acquaintance of mine in his mannerisms and even his style of speech, so I particularly liked his role. Matthew Broderick and the young member of the famous Kalkin family, named Rory, also looked surprisingly great.

The film is worth watching; personally, I found it very interesting and not boring at all. It deservedly received recognition at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah, as well as two Oscar nominations for Best Screenplay and Best Actress (Laura Linney).
