A 2007 American drama film written and directed by Tamara Jenkins, The Savages premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and stars Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney. The film was nominated for several awards including an Academy Award for best screenplay in 2007 and a Golden Globe for the performance of Hoffman.
