Dramedy about how families cope with personal tragedies. Most will move on while some will forever stuck in realm of guilt and anger like the Conway's. They suffered major loss after an accident. Mom (Geena Davis) blames the dad and has turn into an abrasive woman. The youngest child 15-years old Billy (Harrison Gilbertson) struggles to find his own identity at home and in outside world.
The period details are pretty good as the story is set in early 1980's Connecticut, America but made and produced in Australia with local actors doing passable States accent.
Davis - the only Yank in the cast - is the whole show here, armed with wacky and often funny put-downs. She does well considering the thin plot and under cooked characterizations. Marvelous slo-mo visuals by Ben Nott (the opening scene is a showstopper).
