Family Nightmare
A dizzy trip through the mid-1990s with a dysfunctional American family. Reliving a distracted child's birthday party, an emotionless wedding, a Halloween in a garage and a Christmas marked with alcohol, drugs and perversion, the film is a crumpled letter from a filmmaker to his family: a shattered kaleidoscope of the destructive patterns that have trapped and wounded its members.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its narrative from fragmented home videos, building a palpable sense of unease and dislocation. It relies on this raw footage to explore the cyclical nature of familial trauma and the scars it leaves behind.
What lingers after viewing is a profound discomfort, a recognition of the dark patterns that can hide in plain sight within any home. It’s a difficult, essential watch. — MovieFinder Editorial
