Nick K @Nickwallace 3d Pleasantly surprised. We try to watch a movie almost every night. This one snuck up on me. I was expecting a boring Hallmark movie. Some kind of sweet family movie. I’m used to seeing Joanna Cassidy do comedy. She steals the show here. So beautiful and vulnerable. Incredible performance. Be warned: a tearjerker. See more Ron W @Ronweinert 3d Watched this last night with Mom. Good cast for a low budget streamer. Some great moments. A couple of big fights. Joanna Cassidy wow!! She has some really great moments. 2 big scenes where she’s just heartbreaking. I don’t want to spoil it, but there’s one part where we were both crying. Mom Loved it. I was surprised how much I liked it. Well done movie.. See more Dylan T @RT91583065 6d relatable story you dont see as much anymore This whole story is relatable (not in a good way). Great job by the cast and filmmakers. Whether it’s family illness, or cheating, or just family ego and fights (I’ve seen all of it). I felt like I was looking in a mirror. Filmmaker did a great job and captured detail and made it feel so cinematic. Cast was good too. Recognized several faces. The Mom was incredible! See more Ava S @Avasalim 6d Compelling indie film that goes dark and daring So glad I found this. So many movies are about loud explosions and CGI. Last night I went for this movie with performance and human stories instead. Joanna Cassidy is amazing WOW! James Brolin delivered his devilish charm. Seeing these 2 legends working together. Really enjoyed the filmmaking. See more Hanne H @HanneHoward Jun 3 HUGE Jams Brolin fan! I don't see him in enough stuff anymore. This was like a highlight reel.I love when he plays these parts and maybe the filmmakers do too, because they let him play. So fun to watch! Great chemistry with Joanna Casssidy. I wish Tia Mowry had more to do. Good casting. Good filmmaker. I enjoyed. More Mr Brolin! See more Darmien K @RT47703685 Jun 1 Some good scenes. Good cast. Stylish small indie movie that starts dark and gets darker. Joanna Cassidy stands out. Brolin has good moments being the bad dad. Tia Mowry doing a grownup movie. I liked it all.
