How rare it is to see a realistic drama with realistic dialogue. Most of the dramas today exist only to please audiences; to give them a simple story with one-dimensional characters and a conflict and deliver a happy ending with all conflicts wrapped up. You Can Count on Me is a rare cinematic experience that allows you to feel like you're watching everyday events for the characters as they happen.
To talk about the plot is an injustice to the film and to those who haven't seen it. I can only complement the performances of Laura Linney, Mark Ruffalo, and the rest of the cast, but, with such an excellent screenplay, its no wonder they were all so convincing.
