Plot
Summary: The Marks family is a tightly-knit
quartet of women. Jane is the affluent matriarch whose
3 daughters seem to have nothing in common except
for a peculiar sort of idealism. Setting the tone
of vanity and insecurity, Jane is undergoing cosmetic
surgery to alter her figure, but serious complications
put her health in real danger. Former homecoming queen
Michelle, the eldest daughter, has one daughter of
her own and an alienated, unsupportive husband. Elizabeth,
the middle sister, has an acting career that is beginning
to take off, but is timid and insecure, and habitually
relieves her trepidation by taking in stray dogs.
Only the youngest sister, Annie, an adopted African
American 8-year-old, stands a chance of avoiding the
family legacy of anxious self-absorption. If only
her intelligence and curiosity will see her through
what promises to be a confusing adolescence. Each
of the women seeks redemption in her own haphazard
way.
Comments:
I
found this film to be very just plain "interesting".
The story mainly circles around this mother and her
daughters, and the unique life they all have. I'm
not sure if this movie is considered "indie",
but in my opinion it is.. it reminds me of a classic
Sundance film, or some kind of film fest thing, which
it might have been. I loved the acting and the overall
story and plot. I found this movie to be kind of controversial
because of it's content, such as the 30 or 40 year
old woman having an interest in the 17 year old, the
lady standing naked and having the guy point out the
"weak" areas of her body. That was interesting
content. I definately recommend this film to anyone
that wants to relax and watch a film where they can
think, laugh, and think some more.
