I stumbled upon this simple little film on Amazon Prime today and I was pleasantly surprised. Despite a wonderful supporting performance by Judd Nelson (Breakfast Club), the rest of the ensemble of this film is unknown but fantastic! This is a true tribute to the theater and a love letter to actors everywhere! It's about our families, particularly the lucky ones among us that have our family's love and support of our passion for our art.
This is a strange film but I fell in love with it and it's characters pretty quickly. It had a touch of Noel Coward in it but at it's heart, it's about a family of artists. It's about separating art from real life and how sometimes that line is blurred. This was based on a play by the same name and written and directed by the playwright himself.
It's a touching tribute to family and sometimes the wounds that happen when life doesn't pan out the way we think it should. I highly recommend this film to everyone, particularly to my fellow theater artists.
