This was an outstanding movie which I can see why it was not for some people. Sundance critics thought it was good and so did we. It is disturbing... for sure, but that is part of the point SL was going for. real life for some people Full Review

Ellen Burstyn steals the film. If you like profanity every other word, and not only an emotionally crippled but unlikeable family, you will like... s film. An entire crazy family together in one place for a weekend is too much. No one is likeable; that's what makes you unsympathetic. I don't know a family like it, and if this is what the American family has become, we're in troublle. Skip it. Full Review

I tend to forget how marvelous Ellen Barkin can be until she gets the rare chance to pull out all the stops in a movie like this.Full Review

As Barkin's nemesis, Moore is evil, and that's a good thing - she doesn't back off. Kate Bosworth plays Barkin's fragile daughter and is a pleasant surprise: Who knew she was an actress?Full Review

Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle

Levinson stuffs the movie with so many emotional cross-currents and minor revelations that it's hard to keep them all straight, but the movie works the audience's nerves with enough determination to get under the skin and stay there, a sensation that comes awfully close to an earned emotional response.Full Review

Sam Adams
The A.V. Club

It's unpleasant, shrill and exhausting - everyone's so busy airing their own grievances no one has time to listen to anyone else's - but it's a genuine actors' film anchored by some good performances.Full Review

Movieline

You could get whiplash watching this bipolar drama jerk between extremes: For every extraordinary scene - such as an authentically awkward exchange between Bosworth and estranged dad Thomas Haden Church - there's a sequence or three that might be extended collegiate acting exercises.Full Review
