About

You may like this if you enjoy offbeat, introspective dramas about ordinary lives unraveling, with uneasy humor and family strain, similar in tone to The Nature of Love; Not for you if you want fast pacing or upbeat comfort.

Pros: offbeat character study; darkly funny moments; thoughtful family tension | Cons: slow-moving story; uncomfortable sexual fantasies; bleak overall mood
