Half Empty/Half Full (2018)
Thought-provoking, well-acted

Love it when a seemingly minor dispute unearths a whole convincing history of deep-rooted issues. Clever how this film centers that dispute around something so simple, yet so loaded with social and symbolic importance, as a glass of wine.
Watched with my wife and mother-in-law. We had a lengthy and engrossing discussion afterward. It's that kind of story: Complex, intertwined conflicts. Well-written, energetic dialogue that delves into interesting moral/social territory. Sticks with you after the credits roll. Ripe for debate.
Strong performances from the four actors here, too. Great chemistry with one another. Both fun and uncomfortable to watch their give-and-take, as the tension escalates.
