Every Philip Seymour Hoffman Movie Ranked Worst To Best

The Savages is one of the most pleasant surprises of Hoffman's career. In it, Hoffman and Laura Linney play siblings sent to help their ailing father (Philip Bosco) back home, where they come face to face with the complexities of growing up, facing the past and their own strained relationship.

Both Hoffman and Linney are both on fiery form, creating a dynamic built on emotional turmoil, past failures, love and resentment. The Savages weaves together a beautiful narrative about grown siblings struggling to come to terms with their lives, and is as refreshing and daring a family drama you're ever likely to see.
