NP - This Xmas Season's Movies

[David Morris]

The movie doesn't portray an affluent bedroom/playground community at all.
There are fishing towns that are still working class and struggling. Maybe
there are still families that fit that bill in the area, but not in the
gentrified areas portrayed.

For Laura,  I'd not seen the trailer, nor read reviews.  It is not
formulaic.  The telling of its story is intimate, slow, and subtle.  It DID
make me weep more than once, but its empathies are the result of a nicely
woven story and great acting.  It never makes one groan in embarrassment
