Happy Indigenous Peoples Day. Here's an unrelated horror movie. 
Tillie (Isabella Rowland) cut off contact with her alcoholic, emotionally manipulative dad (Craig Bierko) years ago. Even on his deathbed, she couldn't bring herself to see him. So it gets really ironic that after death, he haunts every single person in her family through the mirrors, except for her.
I know we're all tired of horror movies as an allegory for grief, so good news: this is just a comedy with ghosts. Rowland is one of the recurring members of the Internet sketch show Dropout and if you're familiar with it, you will likely recognize a lot of the supporting characters. Fortunately, you don't have to have any prior knowledge to enjoy the movie on its own merits. It is incredibly funny but also a very good examination of what it means to love someone who kind of sucks.
Unfortunately, it's not streaming anywhere except to rent or buy so you're going to have to break out that VPN to watch it. Or have a seance. Your choice.
