Another depressing ass movie about families.Old Dolio (Evan Rachel Wood) is a scam artist with her parents (Richard Jenkins and Debra Winger). She has never questioned their treatment of her until they meet Melanie (Gina Rodriguez) on a plane and immediately rope her into their schemes. Then she questions everything she knows about herself, them, and their way of life.
This is kind of like Shoplifters meets Dogtooth. I originally thought it was going to be like Captain Fantastic, but that guy at least loved his kids. It's billed as a comedy but it's the kind of cringe comedy that I absolutely hate. I will give Wood credit for playing against type, even though her hair was giving me absolute fits the entire time. How can you see?? It's all in your face!!! How are you not constantly getting it caught in stuff??
Anyway, all the performances are technically good; I just didn't like it. It's streaming on Peacock.
