Synopsis:
A grieving family gathers on the Fourth of July weekend to honor the memory of their journalist son, Leo Frankel, who was killed in Iraq the previous year. They are confronted with old hurts as well as many dark secrets that threaten to tear the fragile threads that are just barely holding the family together. Leo's mother Marilyn, entrenched in grief, drops a bombshell when she announces that she's leaving her husband David, who has moved on from his mourning and still holds a grudge against Leo for his decision to go to Iraq and leave his wife and toddler behind. Marilyn's desire to discover what actually happened to Leo has become an obsession: she will risk everything to find the truth. Meanwhile, Leo's widow Thisbe hasn't come to terms with how falling in love with a new man will change her dynamic with the family, and she struggles with how best to let them know without causing further despair. Clarissa, Leo's eldest sibling, desperately wants to conceive, a compulsion that threatens her marriage. Personal quarrels and long-held animosity between Leo's siblings plague the family and are only intensified by his memorial, while his sister Noelle grapples with the fact that she was the last to see Leo alive during a trip to Jerusalem. Quarrels, battles, and emotional outbursts continue to distract from the real reason the family has come together, which is to honor their son, brother, father, and husband. Will this dysfunctional family reunion bring them closer together or drive them further apart? Based on the acclaimed novel by Joshua Henkin.
Reviews:
"Fantastic insight into the Joy & Pain of Family!. The film is an emotional journey! For those of us who never had a big family, it's an amazing look into the doubt and deceit and love of a large family and how those on the outside can better understand it than those on the inside.
The chemistry with the cast was amazing - it was as if they were a true family filming their struggles in dealing with the death of a loved one. Their arguing and bickering was genuine; a mix of both correction and competition.
The writing was well done and the script dialogue was totally authentic!
The Director did a superb job of allowing each of these actors to play to their strengths, which was natural, patient and genuine. Perfect little moments at the perfect time connected the whole story together seamlessly.
Director, Actors, and Writers - it was a 'slice of life' that played really really well and pulled on a couple heartstrings in the process!
Thoroughly enjoyed it - never a moment for the wandering mind!"
