David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...the characters are obnoxious, the directorial style is bland, and the pacing is off (way off).

Audience Member dark...but I like it...great acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't understand how a family can be like this for so long b4 they get wise but it made for good and sumwat strange movie with a good cast. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member damn bad film and how did it get made. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member damn bad film and how did it get made. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Some of the editing leaves the plot a little choppy but I mostly get what I need out of it. Jena's role is so totally a Jena role and I love that about this film. Michelle Forbes is pretty fabulous ? I might be a little in love with her. What I love here is the way relationships are forged and built and real warmth and comfort is shown between the characters who are able. And real dejection from those who are unable. This movie doesn't break any new ground and it's not too interesting or too terrible but it has a good spot in a Jena Malone marathon.
