Krisha (2015)
10/10
Intense, camp, heartbreaking look at family.

Wow. I grabbed a bunch of what were considered by many to be the best indie films of 2016 for a big screen night at home with friends. We grabbed this little number off the top, sat down and proceeded to have our heads blown off. This is an all too rare moment in cinema when you remember how brutally honest and truthful screen stories can be. And how fake most cinema is by comparison. I have been in house like that. Had family dinners like that. Known people like that. The sadness of well meaning people ruining the lives of the ones they love. There were no obvious good or bad people in this. Just flawed truthful portrayals. The camera and sound are incredible. The performances stunning. And yes, it's very very camp and funny in moments. But so is life when you look at it a certain way. It's also almost too sad at times. Also how life can be. I can't recommend this highly enough. I just hope our writer director doesn't use the buzz from this near perfect little gem to make a crappy flick about "real life" with George Clooney.
