The Guide to the Perfect Family

This story faced by so many modern families seems to be commonplace and not worth making a movie out of. Yet the art direction is beautiful and there are some moments that brought a lump to my throat. This is a near tragedy with a glimmer of hope.

Very good movie about the challenges of raising a family in this day and age !

Very good casting.

Recommend viewing.

I actually liked the movie but my problem was the ending i felt like it had no clear conclusion. I know some ppl like stories that don't end with a full resolution and leave space for your imagination to run wild but i personally hate them, so that was my main problem with this movie. But i did love the actual story.

The film does a great job in capturing today's problems when it comes to family and everyday life's problems. The movie looks great and I enjoyed the soundtrack.

It feels like this generation has been captured on camera and that is rarely nailed accurately without feeling off.

I would leave to the viewer the final conclusion about this film. It touches, with a great amount of realism, the chasm between generations for a family living in the second decade of the 21st century. Attitudes grabbed from fads on the internet. Disconnection inside a dysfunctional family. Stress and anxiety coming from a job or from school. Millennial's ways of expressing their stand in life. Split ideas on parenting. I believe this film deserves watching and understanding the complexity of relationships, the ways in which we all dig our own graves by staying silent and, above all, the importance of empathy and love when things seem to go down the drain. Good and believable acting along with a superb editing make this film an interesting study on family dynamics.
