Review of Family Affair (2010) by Generoso F — 02 May 2010
Easily my favorite documentary from this year's Independent Film Festival of Boston. A raw, real portrait of a family's ugly secret which was brought out into the open when the only male child of a family of four shot his sister accidentally while playing with his father's rifle.
Unlike 2004's "Tarnation", there are no frills here, interview after interview unfolds the inner feelings of every member of the house, from the abusive father to the children and their estranged mother.
An uncompromised heartbreaking look at the ugliest of moments and attitudes of a family that is forever damaged but still functioning.
