It is astounding to me that this movie won so many awards and is so highly rated here. I think it should only be watched by those in a miserable mood and who want to feel even more miserable. What are so many others seeing in this film?
It's a depressing slow-moving story of three adult children in a family where the mother has killed herself. Part of the reason appeared to be mental health issues, and part because her husband had cheated on her with his youngest daughter's best friend, another high school girl.
The youngest daughter is filled with anger and anguish. The oldest daughter is a narcissist who makes up illnesses and possibly even a pregnancy. The one son is the only likable person in the movie, and is trying to keep everything together when his life is falling apart.
They were all expecting their mother's money and business to help them out, but it turns out their despised father gets everything because the final divorce papers weren't signed. There is no trust and no real faith and no anything else of any value in this movie. I watched it to the end, though, and deeply regret wasting the streaming time. I also thought it was highly amusing that what happened at the very end of the movie was apparently supposed to be seen as highly profound, when it was nothing more than typical common sense.
