Family Obligations

Some people might not ever sit through a movie where they don't recognize the actors, but if you can get past that, this is something to try. Very relatable. A nice story with solid acting. Nothing fancy, but good laughs, character development, and a lot of heart.

I really liked the tone of the whole thing. It feels very real, and the humor comes from genuine situations and emotions.

A simple story, simple actor & actress, simple shooting, light music. Sometimes less is more. Bear in mind it's nothing huge, just watch it and put down all criticism and enjoy.

A good example of independent film done well. The characters and story unfold without any tricks or magic. The heart and humor shine through without any distraction.

An honest look at family life for those who didn't have it easy with their families. An awkward and realistic ride through coming to terms with the people in your life with humor and an ending that reminds us why we care.

A lot of independent films begin with good intentions but stall in story problems or uneven performances. This film engages you in its story and never pulls you away from its world and its characters. It helps tremendously that it is anchored by its main performers realistic, human interactions. This world these characters inhabit feels real.
