Audience Member Nancy Savoca's film never quite allows it's audience to decide if it is OK to laugh or if we should feel ashamed. This thin line between dark comedy and dark drama is the gateway to Savoca's point. The film seems a bit slight, but it lingers with you. This is the kind of filmmaking it would be nice to see more of -- a realistic story about human damage that is brave enough to present these life challenges as something we must learn to deal with, live through and make the most of it. In a strange way, this movie approaches cinematic "truth" in a realism that actually makes sense. Mira Sorvino is the film's center. She is so incredibly true and realistic in her performance -- it would almost be easier for the viewer if she had pushed her realism just a little over-the-top. Lucky for us, Sorvino isn't that kind of actor. She is quietly brilliant and like her director, she's not going to offer an easy way out of the complications of family life. The film comes very close to being just shy of amazing. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Mira Sorvino in a role that matches her Oscar winning one from that woody allen film in the 90's, Tammy Blanchard anda wonderful and intense cameo by none other than Patti Lupone. Chick Flick - yeah..and I fucking ate it up! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member 2/5 --- Started out with the almost exact premise as "Blue Jasmine", Mira Sorvino [who even looks like Cate Blanchett and both have been in Woody Allen movies] stars as the crazy neurotic older sister who needs to stay over at her younger more stable sister's apartment she as gets her life back together. Some strange sequences, not see what was happened or said/mumbled...a couple decent emotional scene but overall just jumbled. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting movie about family and reconciliation. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A straightforward telling of a story that sometimes surprises you, even when the film feels uneven. Mira Sorvino is very good. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member UCH!! Terrible for so many reasons. dribble, dribble, cliche, melo dramatic, tedious.
