Featured review
When their dad (Rip Torn) has serious medical needs, his two daughters (Parker Posey and Demi Moore) return home to look after him. They meet Dad's girlfriend (Ellen Barkin), who isn't helping with Dad at all. She seems to have some issues herself... the sisters are overwhelmed. Clearly Dad needs a home nurse, but they don't want to do that. We keep seeing these weird moments where apparently we look inside Jayne's mind, and how she really feels about something. Jayne learns what was really going on with her dad during her childhood; things that she either didn't see, or didn't want to see. Then, about halfway through, it becomes a bit more surreal, and things start to happen! They scare off Dad's mooching girlfriend. They sell off his stuff. And they start looking for the treasure that may or may not really be hidden on the property. Written and directed by Mitchell Lichtenstein; it starts out quite serious, but gets lighter in the second half. Family secrets are revealed. They find some resolution... sort of. In their own way. Really gets going in the second half!
