But after watching it, I thought that although this independently produced film has no glamour and no miracle of salvation, it is finally a work worthy of the title of "independent production".
A movie with a bright name tells a story about success. But on the surface, the success here has almost nothing in common with ordinary American movies. Because here, there are no heroes, no saviors, and no miracles. Damn it, those who should die won't come back, and the ones that aren't obtained won't be obtained after all. But every failure and helplessness is another new success. The grandfather died, but he finally reconciled with his son before he died; the son could no longer be a pilot, but finally ended the eight months of depression; the little girl could not win the championship, but the family regained understanding and won life itself . Although life is always unsatisfactory, it is just like what the movie says: Do What You Love, And Fuck The Rest.
The whole movie is like a drama. Almost all conflicts and emotional accumulation run in a closed space. The interior scene at the beginning of the movie impressed me deeply. Busy hostess, son who swears not to speak, gay uncle who has just tried to commit suicide after being fired, father who explains nine steps of successful but unsuccessful learning to others every day, grandpa who loves to watch PLAY GIRL forever, and wears a big The little girl with her spectacles bulging dreams of becoming a beauty pageant—in short, a family that lives a heavy life and is on the verge of bankruptcy, appears at the same time. There are contradictions between everyone, and everyone has their own help. The screenwriter cleverly used the chaos on the dining table to show the panorama of life, and the director appropriately concentrated all the conflicts in the family before and after dinner. This is simply a typical drama scene.
Recommend to all alive people. We will see a well-made independent film. The drama is generally heavy, and the movie is generally relaxed. Fox Searchlight bought the film's distribution rights for a record-breaking US$10.5 million, creating the highest selling price in the history of the Sundance Film Festival. This million is very worthwhile.
