Common themes, uncommon storytelling
Nothing like getting ready for Thanksgiving with a film about the blurred lines between families, performance, and manipulation. Stellan, could you share that booze, actually?
The house at the center of this film probably should have crumbled beneath all its trauma and metaphors, but it manages to be as resilient as the family and the film. The themes are common; the execution is anything but. If you can manage to watch without getting emotional, kudos.
