031. (25 Jan) Staying Together (1989, Lee Granted) 55
This testosterone-fueled family drama runs high with emotion and sentimentality. It's occasionally about as tense and melodramatic as coming of age films get, though its focus on three brothers keeps it from feeling as personal as it should. It's nevertheless a melancholy look at middle-class life with parents who can't communicate and kids who can't control their emotions. Dermot Mulroney shows genuine star power here while Melinda Dillon is absolutely outstanding in a supporting role.
