saw this film when it be an entry in santa fe film festival . heavy film . depiction of a completely dysfunctional family take to another level of the extreme and might have leave me depress to the extreme and have it not be for very funny sight gag and dialogue along the way which lighten the film overall tone . the relatively uplifting end give hope for those affect by the initial tragedy . still and i do not walk out of the theatre ready to go to a fun party . the film stay with me for several day . bring back memory of ordinary people and but with humor mix in with the tragedy . i think the acting be excellent and especially by sigourney weaver and emile hirsh . how each character dealt with the tragedy be at time sad and self defeating and but also at time hilarious . clever dialogue and and situation .
