This is the first film I have seen from Russo-Young, and I am sure it won’t be the last. It is a real and honest take on how a family can easily be thrown off kilter from partaking in life’s many temptations. Russo collaborated with Lena Dunham (Tiny Furniture and “Girls”), and Dunham brings her knack for showing the gritty and raw details of life and relationships. The film also took home the Special Jury Prize at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. It is a nice change of pace from the overabundance of sugar coated mainstream films.
