Malick, Altman, Cassavetes' woman under the influence Rowlands... Evoking these names discredits Trey Edward Shults and his star Krisha Fairchild. This is a singular piece of cinema, using the tools of cinema – camera movement, framing, sound design, performance – to not just show us one woman's attempt at redemption for her former sins against her family, but to experience it with her. Moment by fragile moment.
...Probably didn't articulate that as eloquently as I hoped to. Fortunately, will have more chances this year when discussing 2016 Golden Brick contenders.

A lot of the dynamics were unclear to me for so much of the movie, but the final five minutes are stunning and tense.

A cacophony of external chaos and internal turmoil, Trey Edward Shults' freshman feature length film Krisha is a magnificently shot film that I'm shocked hasn't garnered more attention from the cinematic community. I recall reading a couple of reviews of this film earlier last year, when it was most likely premiered at festivals, but I never heard anything else about it until a week or so ago when I was made aware that it was showing near me. One look at the trailer, and I fell madly in love with the artistic cinematography style that Shults uses. Much like Mommy and Tom at the Farm, Shults utilizes three different aspect ratios to symbolize three different emotional points that Krisha experiences…

Like Terrence Malick, Robert Altman, and David Lynch collaborated to remake Rachel Getting Married by committee (a perfectly plausible scenario), Trey Edward Shults’ Krisha collapses several generations of family trauma into a whirlwind Thanksgiving weekend that stretches the notion of 'unconditional love' to the breaking point. Shot in just nine days but obviously percolating for as many years, Shults’ SXSW-winning domestic drama – in which he co-stars with several members of his family, including his aunt in the title role – is a cataclysmic collision between the cinematic and the mundane.

The fact that this is simply Trey Edward Shults and his family filming a movie for nine days is impressive enough. Krisha Fairchild gives a hell of a performance. She perfectly puts her anxiety into your head. Reuniting with her family on Thanksgiving dinner becomes this stressful and nail-biting feature that acts like a devastating trainwreck you can’t look away from. I’m also starting to notice that Shults’ trademarks are aspect ratios, and I’m here for it.

Damn you, Trey Edward Shults.
This hit me like a ton of bricks.
I was not prepared. Holy shit. Brilliant.
For my own sanity, would never watch again. -
"I don't think sorry cuts it Krisha" -Someone,
Black sheeps unite, this is your horror film.
Confronting your past, trying to become a better person, and really struggling with it. OH MY GOD... This movie is too fucking crazy. There is a good chance that when I'm in my sixties, I'll kind of be a fuck up so I didn't have much trouble identifying with Krisha. Dreading going to a holiday dinner to see people that you have burned bridges with in the past is a totally awkward and horrifying experience that I can understand. Hell, I find holiday visits with family to be stressful even with family I like. Krisha exploits the awkwardness and resentment present at a Thanksgiving…
