Heartfelt Feature Comedy A Little Family Drama screens at the New Jersey Film Festival
by Anran Li - published 2024-09-23
Regardless of culture, generation, or ethnicity, when it comes to “family,” we all share some universal memories of tears and joy condensed into a dinner gathering. The nostalgia is mixed with chaotic arguments, moms gossiping about who recently got married, shouting, “Who took my spatula?!” Kids run in and out, sneaking a few cookies and taking the kitchen heat and aroma out as they pass the poker table. Stories about domestic scenarios are never-ending classics, printed with certain generational marks, but the essence remains. In his novel Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy states, "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way." Somehow, a hundred years later, this observation is proven true by a Mexican American family in A Little Family Drama. With an idealist, reckless son, a diligent, underappreciated daughter, a comedian uncle, an outcast, and ceaseless fights between a mother and a daughter, the Sepulvedas seem to resemble the folks in each of our families. Still, the collision of progressiveness and the lingering traditional values, ambition of self-realization, and responsibility compose captivating conflicts that bring laughter and tears to the screening room.
