Ten years after the critically acclaimed Happiness, Todd Solondz revisits the tangled personal lives of three sisters in this savagely funny satire of middle class mores. Joy (Shirley Henderson) is married to a man with an unresolved 'affliction' and haunted by a former love; Trish (Allison Janner) meets an unlikely new suitor while her ex-con ex-husband attempts to reconnect with their young son; meanwhile Helen (Ally Sheedy) feels pressured by her family and her Hollywood success. Featuring an all-star cast, this emotionally resonant portrait of flawed ut fascinating characters struggling to find love and meaning in an unsympathetic world if poignant, sometimes shocking and often hilarous.
