Petunia

La familia!
Quirky fun. Could be a screen adaption of Broadway. Resolves issues of sexual identities despite confused desires and best intentions.

Not good. Thora Birch's worst performance.
This movie had promise by looking at the trailer. But it didn't live up to it in any way. Thora Birch's character was rotten to the core, hard to watch, hard to believe, and the acting was awful. The actor who played the son Charlie was good. The mom was awesome. But they had no support from either storyline or other actors. Skip this movie, you'll never get those two hours back.

Plus, it streamed VERY slowly from Amazon. Every time I needed to stop or rewind, I waited for several minutes (like 5 to 10).

Very Good
A great indie that follows a modern family and their attempts to navigate the trials and tribulations associated with living within the modern condition. Even though this movie kept my attention throughout, I thought that there were some scenes in particular that absolutely blew my mind. You won't regret sitting down to watch this under-appreciated film.
