Overview
Eliza D'Amico thinks her marriage to Louis is going great until she finds a mysterious love note to her husband. Concerned, she goes to her mother for advice. Eliza, her parents, her sister Jo, and Jo's boyfriend all pile into a station wagon to go to the city to confront Louis with the letter. On the way, the five explore their relations with each other and meet many interesting people.
I had a very unique experience while watching this movie. While on the surface this might appear to be a light-hearted road trip indie movie, if you look a little deeper there is a lot more there. As the day goes on, we start to see the cracks in the relationships caused by several years of the characters looking the other way. We realize that the interesting part of the movie isn’t the end of their search but the fractures that are exposed on the search. Also, it doesn’t hurt to have numerous top-notch actors in the film.
