Krisha (2015)

Krisha: Directed by Trey Edward Shults. With Krisha Fairchild, Alex Dobrenko, Robyn Fairchild, Chris Doubek. Krisha returns for Thanksgiving dinner after ten years away from her family, but past demons threaten to ruin the festivities.

“I donu0026#39;t know where that u0026quot;comedyu0026quot; label on IMDb comes from. I donu0026#39;t think it functions even as a black comedy. Absolutely heavy and quite dark, but fabulously written, directed, and acted. There are many films that deal with this sort of premise (even Rachel Getting Married comes to mind) but this really took it to another level. Completely immersive, watching it all unravel just hurts to watch. Not an easy viewing by any means and definitely one that will divide audiences completely (even on this board, I can see many people hating it). I loved it though, easily one of the best of the year so far. Krisha Fairchild should absolutely be in contention for end-of-the- year awards, and Trey Edward Shults shows a lot of talent.”
