Family

Taylor Schilling is excellent here, playing against type as an unlikeable, socially awkward singleton who has no time for anyone or anything. The child actor is this was 100% believable and not as all distracting. A great performance. The writing was excellent and even managed to make Insane Clown Posse likeable. My only issue with this film was the sound editing. The dialogue was quiet but the music quite loud.

It's really a great family movie. It comforts you and tells the real fact that all are weird in there core. Once you understand and accept your weirdness then there's nothing stopping you enjoying your life. Surprised to see lower rating.

Some laughs here, as well as some rough spots, in this quirky and predictable comedy starring Taylor Schilling. She is excellent in her portrayal of Kate, a completely self-absorbed workaholic, employed as a Senior V.P. for a New Jersey hedge fund.

Kate is asked by her brother to watch over her 11-year-old niece Maddie (Bryn Vale) for one night while they place his mother-in-law in hospice care. Of course, I don't have to tell you things will not go according to plan and they'll be plenty of misadventures and lessons to be learned along the way.

In addition to Vale's fine performance, Kate McKinnon and Brian Tyree Henry add well to the mix here in supporting roles. All in all, I did get some laughs at times, and I would say this movie was a decent feature debut for writer and director Laura Steinel.

A very lovely story, pretty funny, and heartwarming! All the stuff that happens is entertaining; everything about Family is great I'd highly recommend it. I love watching Taylor Schilling in anything after Orange is the new black.

So, maybe it's a me. I'm a midwestern girl who's been to a Tech 9 concert (joined by E40!! Whoop whoop!) and danced & moshed with Juggalos, so I felt connected to this film. I thought Taylor was funny. Her droll delivery and deadpan quips were delightful! Not always LOL, but funny still. This movie is rated R, so the humor was edgy, and often crass. The kid was the nougat to Taylor's nutty, rigid character... a character that needed some softness and sweetness added to her life. I was moved, and even though the ending was predictable, it wasn't cheesy. I love the message that we all have stuff others think is weird. We are who we are, even if parents and others don't get us. Austin, Texas knows best... just embrace the weird, and you'll get along fine.
