Clair and her father left when she was six, following the tragic death of her mother in a fire, and she hasn t returned since. Arriving in the quaint but dilapidated seaside town of Edgeport, Clair meets an eclectic group of locals, many of whom once lived on a nearby commune with her parents in the 1970s. She s surprised when they tell her she has family her father never told her about, a 90 year old great Aunt Dora living out on a farm at the edge of town with her daughter Alice.

    • Andrew Barker

      Cotton and Sarandon have a nice spark in their scenes together, Miner does well enough with a lead role that doesnt always make total sense, and cast standout Vanden Heuvel proves to be both the most slyly funny and most intimidating character in the whole enterprise. ( Read More )
    • Matt Donato

      Even with actors like William Sadler and Chris Sarandon, tonal problems and creeping boredom just cant be shaken as time marches on. ( Read More )
    • Helen T. Verongos

      Complex and possessed of an otherworldly serenity, Frank gets too little screen time; developing his character further might have redeemed this movie. ( Read More )
    • Katherine Pushkar

      Why doesnt Wendy Vanden Heuvel do more film As Clairs cranky cousin Alice, she does more acting with a smirk and a turtleneck than the rest of the cast combined. ( Read More )
    • Martin Tsai

      Advertisement Despite the films made for TV aesthetic and performances, Coley has saturated its backstory with vividly drawn details that make this convoluted saga wholly believable. ( Read More )
