Family Obligations

I found myself laughing but never doubting the characters or the story. I guess a lot of movies like this don't get made anymore, but I like it. Good acting, good storytelling throughout. It ends in an emotionally satisfying way, and you're glad you watched it.

Since the synopsys for this movie is extremely vague, I will start the review by writing a proper one: The main character's dad dies, and he takes care of the funeral. His father's house must be sold, while he is dealing with cleaning up the house, he gets a call that leads to him reconnecting with his uncle who he didn' speak to in years. His uncle is sick, so he helps him out by taking him to doctor's appointments and befriends a girl living in the same building as his uncle.

Thoughts: The movie had several moments that made me laugh, it mostly utilizes awkward humor. The main character (Peter) is robotic but we slowly find out more about him as the movie progresses. I would say this movie is unique, does not utilize clichés. It becomes more serious in the second half, but delivers a satisfying ending. I would say it is worth watching.

It's good to remember why family and people are important. The movie is funny and touching without being too sentimental, and it keeps things authentic. I'm glad I found it.

A good example of independent film done well. The characters and story unfold without any tricks or magic. The heart and humor shine through without any distraction.

This film looks at the pain of missed opportunities and the hope of second chances in family relationships. It also contains some genuinely funny moments and honest laughs, which is a credit to the writing and acting. If you ever wish you were closer with your family or feel like you've grown apart, this film will speak to you.
