Two troubled families are thrown together by the return of one family’s prodigal son, forcing the clans’ members to battle old ghosts and work through emotional issues as they search for love at any cost. An outstanding cast includes Bruce Dern, Aaron Sanford, Elizabeth Ashley, Jayce Bartok (who also wrote the screenplay) and most notably, Kirsten Stewart as a teenager with a degenerative disease whose zest for life sets the plot in motion. Says director Mary Stuart Masterson, “When I first read the script, I was struck by its simplicity and sweetness. Oddly, the world of this movie is untouched by the techno-centric world. Rather than fight it, I chose to embrace it on every level.” Variety: “Mary Stuart Masterson brings the same directness and vulnerability that imbue her acting to her quietly impressive directorial debut….a vibrant, unpretentious small-town tale with a dynamite performance by Kirsten Stewart.” Sponsored by Sarducci’s. Post-film event: Actor/screenwriter Jayce Bartok will discuss the film after the Friday, March 21, and Saturday, March 22, shows. Rated R, 95 minutes. Film review
