Coincidentally watched the day after Thanksgiving, wayward daughter Katie Holmes strives to put Thanksgiving dinner together for her dying, bitter mother (Patricia Clarkson, Oscar nominated) and rest of family Oliver Platt, Alison Pill, John Gallagher Jr and granny Alice Drummond*. Boyfriend Derek Luke and neighbours variously help and hinder, culminating in a joyous dinner at an hour and a quarter.
Gritty New York feel in good low budget movie, edited by Mark Livolsi, who had been working as an assistant on Woody Allen and Cameron Crowe's films. Hedges went on to
Dan in Real Life and Disney's
The Odd Life of Timothy Green.
Music and songs by Stephin Merritt.
* Weirdly, Ms Drummond died the following Wednesday.
