An art dealer (Embeth Davidtz) is enthused by a North Carolina artist (who's amusingly terrible), she and her husband Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark, American Hustle, Amsterdam) go to visit his dysfunctional family - particularly uncommunicative brother Ben McKenzie (The O.C.) and his simple and trusting pregnant wife Amy Adams, plus parents Scott Wilson (In Cold Blood) and Celia Weston (The Intern, Far From Heaven, Igby Goes Down).
Adams - who's fabulous - is absolutely smitten by the sophisticated Davidtz.
There's something about a half-brother who's no longer there... the two brothers don't get on well at all; the McKenzie character is only happy at work; the father is a borderline dementia case?
A quiet little film which is truly bizarre and subtle (both husband and wife smoke, but don't tell the other). Written by Angus MacLachlan.
