Home for the Holidays

Jodie Foster considers this the second in an extremely personal trilogy of films she directed. Little Man Tate and The Beaver round out that trilogy. The always excellent Holly Hunt goes home to spend Thanksgiving with her very dysfunctional family. Robert Downey Jr. is insanely wonderful and wonderfully insane as her black sheep brother. Anne Bancroft and Charles Durning play the parents doing everything in their power to keep the family together and the holiday tradition alive. Cynthia Stevenson completes the family as the tightly wound oldest sister. The entire cast is extraordinary and the writing and directing is so sharp. It's like a Thanksgiving David Mamet cinematic feast!If you saw this underrated gem and enjoyed it too, let us know.
