不幸的家庭各有各的不幸。对于少女April Burns的家庭来说,April就是不幸。
这个染着火红头发,画着粗黑眼圈的庞克少女,似乎从来和美好的家庭回忆无关。她纹身,她不停的在身体上打洞穿环,在厨房烧弟弟的头发,和不良青年交际,离家出走……
April从来没有给家人带来过欢笑关怀,这个家,没有人有关于April的一项美好记忆,哪怕是小小的碎片。
April是一场灾难。
April是这个家庭不愿提及不想回忆尽量避免的伤疤。
April的童年。
妈妈说:“不要把感恩节的火鸡装饰打坏,它们比你还要值钱。”
“April你怎么能够这样?”
“April你疯了吗?”
“……”
如果不是因为妈妈得了癌症,就要死去,也许April和这个家庭将不再有交集。这个感恩节,很可能就是妈妈最后的感恩节。
爸爸强迫全家人,包括得了老年痴呆症记忆几乎丧失住在老年公寓的外祖母去April在纽约和男友Bobby一起居住的公寓共度感恩节。
家庭,再多的苦难,再多的痛苦回忆,在死亡面前都不得不放下彼此的骄傲,向生命妥协。
爸爸是唯一一个对April的感恩大餐抱有希望的人
Another good film ruined by a hurried-tidy ending.
Production value, as is usual with low-budget indies, is pretty low. The handheld camera is use to the optimal benefits, emphasizing the confines and the cheap squalor of April's apartment, and making her and her boyfriend's warmth more touching. Joy, th mother, played here by the ever-amazing Patricia Clarkson ("High Art", "Green Mile", "Dogville", delivers a joyless, wry sense of humor with a desperate conviction, which makes her characterization worth of our sympathy and even a little grudging admiration.
There is an abundance of low-key funny moments, and oddball characters.
- The sympathetic neighbor, moved by April's sad childhood horror story: "Mi casa, su casa", moving aside to reveal a messy apartment with dirty cats crawling over a dysfunctional oven.
