Als sich der New Yorker Schriftsteller Michael Taylor (Ryan Reynolds) zu einem Familientreffen in die amerikanische Provinz aufmacht, wird er von Kindheitserinnerungen geplagt. Kurz vor seiner Ankunft stirbt seine Mutter Lisa (Julia Roberts) bei einem Autounfall. Michaels Vater Charles (Willem Dafoe) saß am Steuer des Wagens. Die Tragödie stürzt die Familie, unter anderem auch Lisas jüngere Schwester Jane (Emily Watson), in eine emotionale Krise, geprägt von Verletzungen, ungestillten Sehnsüchten und dem dunklen Geheimnis eines bestimmten Sommers.

A distinctive and sensitively conceived drama with an excellent cast that brings nothing new to the field of family or relationship studies, but is still more than a good addition to the category. A pleasant, modest, intimate first feature by Dennis Lee.

I wanted to write a really nice exhaustive review about this movie, and thoroughly analyze it, but I usually write my reviews after a few days and after three days I practically had no idea what to write about. The film completely disappeared from my head. There was only an unpleasant memory of boredom and a feeling of zero identification with the movie characters. It has a decent cast, but otherwise, this typical festival movie missed the mark for me. Overall impression: 25%.

I really enjoyed this glimpse into the life of an American family. As a father, Willem Dafoe was as pleasant as a pain in the ass, Emily Watson was great as usual, and Ryan Reynolds' performance was greatly improved by his full beard. I only wish the creators had developed some of the issues they had brought up instead of leaving it up to me to figure out the rest. I certainly wouldn’t mind if the film was slightly longer, I liked it a lot.
