Director: Phil Morrison
Cast: Embeth Davidtz, Alessandro Nivola, Amy Adams, Ben McKenzie, Celia Weston
A newlywed woman of the world visits her husband's boorish family in North Carolina for the first time. The premise hardly sounds original, but this charming indie flick steers clear of clichés and offers subtle writing and direction, lovingly detailed characters and finely tuned performances.
