"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 dinner divided and hits the nail right on the god damn head.

Confronting family drama of the past is not an easy thing to do and Krisha expertly manages the tensions and melodrama that such confrontations cause. The whole time you are watching the movie it feels like screws are twisting into you. I had to stand up and pace around for the last 30 minutes it's such a good building of tension. This film also nails the general anxiety that some people feel at family events. I love my family, but when we're all together there are lots of topics to avoid and it's just more tense... this film really gets that. The score is fantastic and helps build tension, and other than Krisha herself, it is the star of the film.

There's a lot to think about with this film. A definite recommend.
