This is a dark comedy about the most dysfunctional of families
that are reunited after the death of the father. It was based on a stage
production and so much of it takes place in the family home and has quite a lot
of dialogue. It is a difficult movie to watch at times and it more about revealing
character relationships than plot. The acting is superb and strong throughout
and without exception. Makes me even more grateful for the family I have.
This is an adventure movie that is heavily influenced
by the great war films of time gone by. It has a star studded cast who seem to
be enjoying themselves thoroughly as they act out the rather flimsy plot. Still
it is great fun and the story is worthy of telling.
This is a quirky and darkly comedic story that is
heavy on the melancholy about a singer in 60’s New York at the edge of the folk
scene as he struggles with his day to day troubles. Fabulous acting with some
slightly over-egged characters is entertaining. The cat just adds to the weirdness.
