It's a well observed, quiet film, Nicholson's performance very restrained. The character seems always to do the opposite of what he's saying, makes all sorts of mistakes and is self-delusional until the end, where he gets some sense (and demonstrates some feeling).
Good music from Rolfe Kent, with a touch of Satie for good measure. Kevin Tent edited, James Glennon shot it in a melancholy palette. Funniest moment: horrible figurines slowly falling off the top of his godalmighty big motorhome.
Rest of cast: Hope Davis, Kathy Bates, Dermot Mulroney, June Squibb, Howard Hesseman.
