Home for Thanksgiving

This film does capture the emotional side of the holidays. The film takes place mostly around a dinner table, and let me tell you, it's not just the food that's spilling over-it's emotions, secrets, and tension. The performances feel so real, like you're watching actual people dealing with their messy, complicated lives.

Stefanie's direction makes you feel like you're right there with them, sharing in every awkward pause and heartfelt confession. It's funny and sweet in just the right spots, but when it wants to hit you in the gut, it does-and hard. I've got to give a special shout-out to the actor who plays Tom. Even though he only has a small part, his performance left me floored.

If you're in the mood for a holiday drama that's both heartwarming and a little bit heartbreaking, this one's definitely worth a watch. Just be ready to feel everything they're putting on the table!
