Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack)

Marya E. Gates

A genuine hidden gem.

Family, the movie, is a frequently funny and occasionally hilarious look at the importance of family in whatever shapes it takes, whether immediate, extended or virtual.

It all leads to the expected insights, but it does offer silly fun and even some touching moments along the way.

Writer-director Laura Steinel's feel-good directorial debut Family subverts the cliche that single women would be more likable and complete with a child, because Taylor Schilling's socially awkward Kate never yearns for one...

Steinel's skillfully silly script is sometimes predictable but creates ample opportunity for topnotch comedic turns from Schilling, Vale, Kate McKinnon (as a nosy, bossy neighbor) and other cast...
