You Can Count On Me is the strongest written and acted family drama I've ever seen.
Linney's pain can be seen in how she prepares for her brother's return, in her desire for order in all things, and in her penchant for the reckless (as long as such recklessness is papered over by a seemingly staid conservative existence).
Better, You Can Count On Me eschews stock secondary characters, infusing each (Linney's boss Matthew Broderick, her minister, her boyfriend, her ex-husband, the town sheriff) with multi-layered character traits in compressed time.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: You Can Count on Me
You Can Count on Me's dialogue crackles with wit and wry observation, even during its most poignant moments, and the chemistry between cast members is as genuine and warm and rough-edged as that of any real family or small-town community.
Linney, who was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her performance (and won several smaller, smarter awards, as did Lonergan and the film as a whole), heads a cast of startling breakthrough performances, each of which, no matter how antagonistic, invites themselves into the viewer's heart.
It's a testament to the cast — and to Lonergan's astounding dexterity as a debutante director — that You Can Count on Me manages to nimbly dance from laughter to tears in a quick turn and yet never succumb to the deathtraps of slapstick or maudlin preciousness.
