Twitter G A realistic movie about a drifter woman "Audrey" and a dysfunctional family and their interactions. I thought it was entertaining and worth seeing. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/23/23 Full Review Jerod S Audrey is a weirdo that's estranged from her own family. When jobs go sideways, she hides and watches cat videos on youtube. When she realizes she can be adopted as an adult, she gets hooked up with a family with their own dysfunction. Points her back home...but if there's worth of the whole true tale, the film isn't very forthcoming with it. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review kathy b This is a brilliant film constructed around a novel premise, the adoption of a young adult woman into an angry and dysfunctional family. A powerful theme runs throughout, of what a family is, isn't, or might possibly be. Remarkable performances by Jena Malone and Robert Hunger-Buhler highlight a strong cast. The film proceeds in an understated way from one shock to another. On one level, the story speaks for itself, but beneath the surface there are numerous subtleties, both spoken and visual. I've never seen another film like it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Gary K Story unravels in real time, supremely acted. It's cool to see such an immediate narrative, no backstory just moment to moment, like life. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/22 Full Review cathy l I enjoyed it very much. The characters were well drawn and quirky. Dialogue was intelligent and well fleshed out. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review hilary k Don't expect the usual Hollywood fare: this is not an unrealistic story with a formulaic outcome. This failure-to-launch tale is quirky and unusual: sometimes adorable, sometimes a little uncomfortable, sometimes a little too real, with a lot of feels. Jena Malone gives a standout performance as a young woman seeking family and belonging, and Robert Hunger-Buhler shines as the cranky Dad who begins to see something in her. This movie is definitely worth enjoying more than once for its characterization alone but also presents an understated but enduring message.
