Marvin’s Room

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

I enjoyed this Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep, Leonardo DiCaprio vehicle more than Bronwen. When Keaton, caretaker for her aged and infirm father and aunt, comes down with leukemia, she calls on her estranged sister (Streep) who arrives with crazy son LD in tow. I find it a nice, and all things considered, reasonably unmelodramatic look at an issue that could have spun into total mawkishness. A lovely eccentric turn by Robert DeNiro as the doctor whose crazy brother is his receptionist. Some very funny lines. Good Hollywood. DeNiro co-produced
