Any Day Now


A warmly captured, wonderfully sketched, 1970s period piece social-issue drama starring Alan Cumming and Garret Dillahunt, Any Day Now tells the story of a gay Los Angeles couple fighting to at first legalize and then establish the permanence of their adoption of a neglected teenager with Down Syndrome. Engaging performances and a beguiling, unfussy technique anchor this big-hearted tearjerker, which cycles through some familiar territory but also deftly and movingly sidesteps conventional wisdom about where this tale may end up.
