Guy’s Review...
Parker Posey plays a woman that has to move back to her childhood home to help her sister (Demi Moore) to take care of their father (Rip Torn). This is one of those dysfunctional family movies. There’s a slew of these out there and it just feels like they a trying to out do each other. This one is not as extreme as “Running with Scissors” or “The Squid and the Whale” but is still pretty weird.
All the actors are as good as they can be with the material that they have to work with. There’s also some trippy dream sequences here that gives the movie a little bit of extra flare. Other than that this movie is just a straight up drama.
This doesn’t sound like I liked it very much but for some weird reason I did. Maybe I have something for Parker Posey to Rip Torn. Just maybe the tone of this movie was the thing that did it for me. I found myself laughing without knowing why. That has to be good right?
Guy’s Rating: I guess I recommend this. I still don’t know why but I do.
Girl’s OL: I feel like I’d been waiting for this movie for a while when I saw it, even though I’d never heard of it before - it was love at first sight.
