    Fantastic short with great cast and clever, original story.

    Absolutely recommend checking out Family History. I not only enjoyed the cast, but the production, writing and originality behind the genre was all great.

    intense

    The state after the last scene is the basic gift of this film who, easily, can be defined as short horror, LGBT or Gothic . In fact, it is a religious film about death,capital sin, guilt and sacrifice as redeem. The twist is not so shocking and the answer to the names from notebook and acceptance of the night of father are inspired crafted in the meeting of scenes of violent reactions of mother and son between final credits.

    A film about answers defining us in tradition of old Greek tragedy. This makes this film real special and propose more than an another gay love, intransigent father , shocking final of visit.

    In same measure, admirable acting serves this intense story.

    And the end, dominating entire story, creating angst and fury, perplexity and a not comfortable state because it is broken a taboo , because you feel than the son will be obedient or he will leave , is, in strange manner, the realistic one. Creating a version of Oedip in the circle of his fatum.
