in « gremlins », the dad was a ever optimist scientist who fails to see that things goes wrong. It's a bit the same here with things about Jewish faith, the fifties and lunatics uncle and for sure maternal and paternal love. Honestly, Turturo and his two brothers have their best parts ever and it was really moving to see Andie as a mum as i can't remember another movie. In addition, Keaton is as much a director with a big heart as one excelling in visuals (as she did in her episode in Twin Peaks). I really like the discussion science, about faith being a useful crutches for someone in need, the feeling of the big city as a intimidating but also full of gifts, the maze apartment of the uncles, the black and white reels and the way the family connects. Sure it's very sad, and after a poor burned dinner, i can't say it was a joyful New Year eve but at last, it was very moving
