영화 정보

When Krisha shows up at her sister’s Texas home on Thanksgiving morning, her close and extended family greet her with a mixture of warmth and wariness. Almost immediately, a palpable unease permeates the air, one which only grows in force as Krisha gets to work cooking the turkey and trying to make up for lost time by catching up with her various relatives, chief among them her nephew, Trey. As Krisha's attempts at reconciliation become increasingly rebuffed, tension and suspicion reach their peak, with long-buried secrets and deep-seated resentments coming to the fore as everyone becomes immersed in an emotionally charged familial reckoning.

평가 및 리뷰

What a sad and depressing but realistic portrait of an alcoholic trying to stage a combat at Thanksgiving with a family she has hurt one too many times--especially her own son who her sister took in when Kresha, a middle aged women in recovery who relapses and all hell breaks loose. Kresha gives a powerful performance that hits you where it hurts. She is sad , lonely and lost. This is not a happy ending film but that's okay because not all alcoholics have happy endings. See this film!

Very well written and and overall really well filmed. A uniquely heavy suburban family drama.
