Family Resemblances
Comedy
An upper middle-class French family celebrates a birthday in a restaurant. In one evening and during one meal, family history, tensions, collective and separate grudges, delights, and memories both clash and coalesce.
VIBE
A masterclass in simmering tension and sharp wit. This film feels like eavesdropping on a real family dinner, where polite conversation barely masks a lifetime of unspoken grievances and shared history. It's both hilarious and painfully familiar.
