The Hollars (2016)


IMDb plot summary: A man returns to his small hometown after learning that his mother has fallen ill and is about to undergo surgery.
Directed by John Krasinski. Starring Margo Martindale, Sharlto Copley, Richard Jenkins, and John Krasinski.

It's hard to come up with much of anything to even say about this movie. It's like the epitome of awkward heartwarming family comedy dramas. Margo Martindale is great, of course, but when is she not? It also does a good job of juxtaposing the happy with the sad and making it all feel like it adds up to something more meaningful. I don't think it's something I'm going to remember for any amount of time but it was enjoyable to watch.
