An old favorite film today,

You Can Count On Me (2000)

with Mark Ruffalo, Laura Linney, Matthew Broderick and the director Kenneth Lonergan.

A warm gentle film on the idea of "you can't go home again".

An old idea but a fresh twist with great acting. Even the kid actor is pretty good. One of the Culkins.

A wandering brother comes back to the Catskills town (great scenery) where his sister works in a bank, has a quiet boyfriend and a nice life until her new boss throws her for a loop and the brother plays hell with her serene point of view.

I have seen this a couple of times and enjoy it a bit more each time.

It is just a good connection for me.

I will, of course, give it a 5 out of Netflix5.
