Review by SnoopyStyle

Furniture maker Conor Casey had a stroke and struggles with disturbing behaviors. He goes home with his wife Vanetia, two kids and American neuroscientist Ted Fielding (Will Forte) who is documenting Conor for the next two months. Ted doesn't expect any improvements and Vanetia isn't happy with his presence initially. The son Lenny is getting teased at school as gay. Conor's father is angry at his dysfunction.

There are some interesting family struggles. However, only Maxine Peake seems to have the opportunity to do some big acting. The rest are fine but not really allowed to have their moments. Even when the characters have their various blow-ups, it is mostly quietly observed. It doesn't try to overdramatize but I think it needs to have that energy. It doesn't really have enough cinematic tension.
