Press

A powerful, gripping observational work that takes you into the heart of a family at breaking point."

- Sheffield Doc/Fest

Audiences are transfixed by the tale because of how close the filmmakers were able to get to this middle class family and the problems they had.

- Sonny Bunch, The Washington Times

Buck's film says a lot about how complicated and impossible families can be, but it also works as a visceral update on the Guess Who's Coming to Dinner theory.
