Review of The Family Tree (2011) by Stephanie M — 15 May 2012

Jeez... how many of these suburban underbelly films are we going to have to watch? This one feels particularly paint-by-numbers -- start with middle-class angst, add some religious hypocrisy and racial tension, sprinkle in a bit of dirty, dirty sex, guns, and illicit drugs, and top it off with teenage kids coming of age in a haze of irony and snark.

And for what?! Even despite the high production value and relatively good acting, there is absolutely no point to this film whatsoever.
