Stephen C @bob25009 May 13 Rated R (Substance Abuse, Some Sexual Content, and Language. 1 hour and 23 minutes of holiday drama!!!!!!!!! See more Jim P Jan 24 Wow. Raw, harrowing and amazing filmmaking about addiction issues. See more Ni A 04/25/2024 Terrible film. No compassion. Point of view was interesting but even this, although conveyed with technical imagination, got lost by not understanding the main character’s distress. Reminds me of Dickens's Christmas Carol without Scrooge’s chance of redemption . See more Dan R 04/23/2024 Is there anything more uncomfortable than those occasions when disgruntled families gather together? 2016's 'Krisha' explores this in great detail. SYNOPSIS: 'Krisha returns for Thanksgiving dinner after ten years away from her family, but past demons threaten to ruin the festivities.' Filmed as part movie and part documentary, this is an incredibly awkward and troubling film which explores how addiction can devastate an entire family and cause unrepairable damage both physically and mentally. This is an ambitious first film from director Schults, who also stars in the film as the estranged son. It's an engrossing 80 minutes which feels like a car crash as things go terribly wrong but you can't look away. It's challenging because the scenarios feel so real. We've all been in similar family get togethers though maybe not to this extreme. It's an eye opening film. Almost genius. 8/10 See more Alec B 01/09/2024 A general description of the plot would understandably cause most to dismiss it as tawdry melodrama or the stuff of bad theatre, but the execution saves this thing. Paced and shot like a horror film, "Krisha" isn't so much subverting the family drama as it is slicing it open. When the emotional outbursts finally come they feel raw and unhinged. There's no resolution, only pain. Anyone who has witnessed this kind of emotional destruction at a family gathering knows how eerily accurate this depiction is. See more Jerod S @jeroduptown 03/25/2023 It's a painful holiday movie about an addict mom that comes home thinking that she's "done the work" and ready for what being around the whole family will bring. Unfortunately, the family isn't ready for her either. See more Read all reviews
