Incredibly well written and acted story about a dysfunctional mob family
I know nothing about what it must be like to be a part of an organized crime family, but my own family was so unbelievably dysfunctional I am astounded I turned out as relatively well adjusted as I am.
My own family was an ongoing waking nightmare & I never knew when the 'other shoe was going to drop'. It was a constant, exhausting & overwhelming cycle of anxiety, fear, & desperation for calm & freedom. The unspoken rules were you didn't talk about it, you didn't acknowledge it & you certainly didn't stand up to it until it was almost too late. And that's why this movie echos in my very soul.
