The Guide to the Perfect Family

Much better than I expected. It has an important message and shines a light on society and pressures we face today. Highly recommend.

This story faced by so many modern families seems to be commonplace and not worth making a movie out of. Yet the art direction is beautiful and there are some moments that brought a lump to my throat. This is a near tragedy with a glimmer of hope.

Very good movie about the challenges of raising a family in this day and age !

Very good casting.

Recommend viewing.

A movie that challenges the viewers to question their parenthood, marriage and the way the system has been dealing with the youth. It has drama but also lots of humour and social critics in between ...not a movie for kids but for young adults and maybe teenagers.

I gave it a 10 because there is no 9.5 the movie has its flaws but delivers a strong and honest message that is hardly seem to be delivered from most movies.

I would leave to the viewer the final conclusion about this film. It touches, with a great amount of realism, the chasm between generations for a family living in the second decade of the 21st century. Attitudes grabbed from fads on the internet. Disconnection inside a dysfunctional family. Stress and anxiety coming from a job or from school. Millennial's ways of expressing their stand in life. Split ideas on parenting. I believe this film deserves watching and understanding the complexity of relationships, the ways in which we all dig our own graves by staying silent and, above all, the importance of empathy and love when things seem to go down the drain. Good and believable acting along with a superb editing make this film an interesting study on family dynamics.
