True indie about real relationships

The premise could easily be simplistic - a curmudgeonly Korean War veteran ends up reluctantly babysitting his granddaughter when his daughter-in-law gets a job. Marital tension ensues. The acting can be a bit uneven, but the main characters of the grandpa and the kid are played by real pros. Victor Argo, in particular, as the grumpy grampa, is outstanding. He was a real gem of an actor, known for his work in films by Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese, among others, and this was one of his last films, if not the last. This is clearly a low-budget indie and you've got to applaud the filmmakers for going for it with this nuanced and original little film. It's a good family watch, though some prudish folks might take offense about a particularly word.
