This is a story about a married couple that have started to grow apart. He is a struggling artist and she is a young high-powered lawyer working for a firm. As a result of their paths she mostly works, often long hours and some weekends while he mostly takes care of the house and their son. It is a role-reversal.
But one day he realizes that he isn't happy where all this is taking him so he decides he has to leave. For an unspecified time. Their son says he is gone to Santa Fe, where lots of artsy types hang out.
This is all complicated by her dad, late 60s or early 70s, living with them and who it seems is developing dementia.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead is Alex and her husband is Chris Messina, who also directs, as George. The dad is Don Johnson, actually about 65, as Roger, who gets a part locally in a play but seems to be having trouble remembering his lines.
All of these people have issues but they each seem to care about the others, they just don't always know what is a proper way to deal with everything.
There is not an "everyone lives happily" resolution here but each character learns something that will surely make the rest of their lives turn out differently.
We saw this on Netflix streaming movies.
