Happy New Year, Colin Burstead (2018)
I liked it...

It's been reviewed as a bit thin and it's true the plot and character development is very light, but I think there's an honesty in that: I've been to family gatherings like this where it kicks off, everyone's worst traits are exposed, always the ones we're blind to, the family members who dance to their own tune carry on, justice isn't served, status quo doesn't change, and there's collateral damage round the edges. But at the end of the night you're all hammered, everyone's essentially unchanged but the air's cleared, and even temporarily you're closer.
It's a reassuringly human snapshot thanks to laugh-out-loud dialogue and brilliant candid, raw ensemble cast - all complemented by the camerawork.
