Home for the Holidays (1995)
I’ve been wearing with this movie for days. I thought it was cute and I have a big crush on Holly Hunter and an extremely intoxicated RDJ - but it’s a messy movie and I’m not sure what it’s attempting to say about the American idea of the patriarchal nuclear family. The romance also felt perfunctory and also seemed to create a happy ending from Hunter continuing the system, which was weird.
I’m proud of Jodie foster for this movie, but I’m sure I like what she’s saying. I did think it was Kim’s cute though 😅
