Review of City Island (2009) by Duncan S — 19 Jun 2010
Good little black comedy about a family who are all keeping secrets from each other. Starts off slow, but once it picks up is well worth the watch. Maybe a little OTT once it all comes out at the end, but still pretty good.
I particularly enjoyed the scenes with the teenage son and the girl next door, kind of sweet in a twisted way. Also the ex-con son and Emily Mortimer as a failed actress. Kind of like American Beauty.
