Incredibly touching, well written and acted; "Uncle Frank" continues to prove writer/director Alan Ball's capability to tackle family drama unlike anyone else.
In this comedy-drama set in the 1970s, a gay man who hasn't come out to his family, takes a a road trip with his niece from Manhattan to South Carolina due to a family tragedy.
This is one of those films where everything works and has the power to make you feel different emotions. The performances are top notch; Paul Bettany is brilliant, Sophia Lillies is sensational but Peter Macdissi was the star of "Uncle Frank". An award worthy role that embodies empathy and is the stand out character in this film. The soundtrack is really spot on for the era as well. Alan Ball's writing has never been better and his directing continues to improve with each of his films. I absolutely loved this film.
