And the award for the most f*cked up family in America goes to: Weston family in OK.
I don't know whether to recommend this movie or not. It is well acted, exceptional really. Script is solid, story is interesting and keeps you watching. But Jesus... it is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.
Every person in this family is a basket case. Alcoholics, drug addicts, not a successful marriage to be found... they scream, insult and attack each other like vipers.
I am not sure what the point of the movie is, maybe there isn't one. Other than the wide-eyed experience of watching people tear each other apart.
Watch it see how well acting can be. Watch how Julia Roberts should never have made all of those empty chick flicks and instead be a serious actor, because she is a damned good one. Watch Meryl Streep do it again.
