Sophie Hyde’s semi-autobiographical saga takes a blinkered approach to personal and cultural history.

Sundance: Colman plays a filmmaker struggling to reconcile her resentment toward her gay father in Sophie Hyde's thinly rendered portrait of generational divides.

That we’re watching John Lithgow go on about oral sex and Olivia Colman chatting about polyamory with her teenage child make the film that much odder.

Even alongside heavy-hitters like Lithgow and Colman, it is remarkable how effortlessly Mason-Hyde holds their own. In many ways, their scenes are what bring everything out that the adults are looking away from.
