Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Hollars (2016)

Mom has a brain tumor, so struggling artist son who’s having a hard time committing to his very pregnant girlfriend comes home to lend support. There he joins his brother (who's living in Mom & Dad’s basement while his ex-wife dates a pastor) and father (whose business is failing) as they wait for the next step.

There were some incisive and poignant moments here, but mostly it felt like broad strokes that still needed shading.
