family communication... always a tricky subject

Written and directed by sujata day, who also plays monica in the film! As a young girl, monica was the over-achiever, pushed by mom to work extra hard. As a result, she won the big spelling bee, and became famous. Her brother never received the attention from mom, and has always resented it. So when they return home as adults, they still don't get along, and mom is disappointed. I'm not a doctor, but it appears the brother also has mental health issues, in addition to feelings of resentment. He has a very short temper, and gets angry and violent over small things. The story is good, but moves pretty slowly. Some of the scenes are over the top. An interesting game they play about halfway through is what we used to call carems... where you flick this plastic piece against that plastic piece to get them all in one place. Haven't seen or heard of that game since I was a kid. Monica finally confronts sonny about his violence issues, and they talk about meds. A small role for levar burton. At one hour twenty minutes, monica's friend gives her some really great advice. It's pretty good. It feels like someone's actual story. And i'm sure many of us have dealt with similar issues with family or friends.

Bakwas and hard to watch.

I often wonder how shows like this are funded and so many great concepts slip through the cracks. The answer is being connected btw.. This is actually about how an LA privileged writer wants the audience to feel bad for her.This scapes the bottom of the barrel comedy and poor story telling. Somehow worse then "never have I ever" I guess this is what gen z wants? Forced diversity with no real depth.
