john water have make the most effusively buoyant and heartfelt and dark and personal little film i think i have ever see ( well maybe fast food fast woman come in close second ) the director vision be untainted . the narrative be whimsical and the character be personal and odd reflection of family and his own inner life . the tone never force or stylistically over arch . there be no pretentious shot design and ennui and or magazine grading . martha plimpton be amazing a the sister . eddie furlong be inspire cast . a grandmother with a talk mary and tea bagging and recycle clothing and yesterday garbage become today art and the lesson of the film be that the most important thing we can value be family . and a humble life .
