Amy was happily married but her husband was not and he
asked her for a divorce. She moves
back in with her parents in Connecticut and doesn’t leave the house for three
months. She doesn’t know what to
do with her life and she has no self-esteem left. She spends her days in the same t-shirt watching silent
black and white movies. Her mother
lets her know that they will soon be having a dinner party at the house to
entertain important clients for her dad’s business. Amy cannot attend this party in her t-shirt of the last
three months.
Only Melanie Lynskey and Christopher Abbott make any
sense in this film. How are they
supposed to arrive at adulthood (whatever that means) with their parents all in
a mess? Of course, the parents want
the best for their adult children but they don’t really even know what to do
with their own lives or know who their children are? 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
95 min, Drama directed by Todd Louiso with Melanie
Lynskey, Christopher Abbott, Blythe Danner, John Rubinstein, Sara Chase, Daniel
Eric Gold, Tori Feinstein.
Note:
Blockbuster 3 ½*, imdb 5.9 out of 10, 73% critic 59% audience on Rotten
Tomatoes.
