Our take
A TV writer's reunion with her estranged mother unpacks a dysfunctional family history. Relentless god-damn and f-word language, heavy wine and cocktail scenes, depression references and grief run through it. Mature themes and emotional confrontations suit older teens and adults.
Uplifting themes
Facing painful truth and seeking reconciliation come across as difficult but necessary The lead tries to break cycles, even as family members stay deeply flawed
Story (may spoil tone)
A TV writer returns home to her estranged mother, igniting chaos as they navigate painful secrets and the complexities of their dysfunctional family.
