Description: Sunday dinners, usually a bastion of family harmony, become a chilling battleground in Caden Douglas's 'Mother Father Sister Brother Frank' (2024). The seemingly idyllic Jennings family, portrayed with unsettling normalcy by Mindy Cohn, Enrico Colantoni, and Melanie Leishman, hides a simmering tension that explodes when the unpredictable Uncle Frank arrives. Douglas masterfully crafts a dark comedy that uses the familiar setting of a suburban family gathering to explore the corrosive effects of secrets and long-held resentments. While the humor is sharp and darkly witty, the film’s true power lies in its unflinching portrayal of familial dysfunction, leaving the audience questioning the very nature of family bonds and the fragility of normalcy. Expect unexpected twists and turns as the meticulously crafted suspense builds to a truly unforgettable climax.
