Quirky but relaxing NY dysfunctional Jewish family indie drama... spoilt by a horribly inconclusive ending
13 November 2023
In quirky, NY Jewish indie drama "The Magnificent Meyersons" Jackie Burns (married to Greg Keller), Ian Kahn, Daniel Eric Gold & Shoshannah Stern are the adult kids of Dr Kate Mulgrew (daughter of Barbara Barrie) & Richard Kind... the latter of whom left decades prior, for reasons that may or may not emerge. Writer / director Evan Oppenheimer relies on amusing, intellectual but inauthentic dialogue (and a sub-plot involving aliens!) to carry the film relaxingly through the family dysfunction to its conclusion... which is HORRIBLY inconclusive, to leave a feeling of 'wtf was THAT about', which is never good. Shame, considering some of the nice performances.
