After her ailing mother wanders off during a blizzard, Bridget returns to her childhood home in Chicago, accompanied by her rebellious daughter. Forced to referee between her father’s stubborn insistence that his wife remains at home and her equally determined brother’s efforts to place her in a “memory care” facility, Bridget struggles to make sense of a lifetime of family conflict. With her mother’s decline becoming increasingly obvious, long-simmering resentments bubble to the surface.

What They Had is most impressive when it shows how Alzheimer’s doesn’t affect just one person, but everyone who comes close. Simultaneously sharp and tender portrait of longstanding family squabbles and resentments finally coming to a head.
You love your dad but also he’s driving you crazy.

A life-affirming family dramedy starring Oscar®-winners Dustin Hoffman and Sissy Spacek, Sam & Kate takes place in a small town in the heart of the country. Hoffman plays Bill, the larger-than-life father to Sam (Jake Hoffman), who has returned home to take care of his ailing dad. While home, Sam falls for a local woman, Kate (Schuyler Fisk). And at the same time, Bill starts to fall for her mom, Tina (Spacek). But finding love is complicated and for these four, it is no different. They all must confront their past in order to make their new love work for the future. Truly a family affair, art imitates life with the father/son casting of Dustin & Jake and the mother/daughter casting of Sissy & Schuyler.
Q-tips say:Yes, we did enjoy Sam & Kate.
One of the better movies we watched this year. Touches on deep subjects of loss & ways to move on & keep going. Also has an interesting problem that most people don’t have to deal with but sheds life on the struggles some people face behind closed doors. It was a great story with a lot of heart. The film might make you laugh, smile and cry. Don’t miss it!
