Bradley Whitford, Jesse Plemons, Molly Shannon, Maude Apatow
A struggling New York City comedy writer (Jesse Plemons), fresh from breaking up with his boyfriend, moves to Sacramento to help his sick mother (Molly Shannon). Living with his conservative father and younger sisters, David feels like a stranger in his childhood home. As his mother worsens, he tries to convince everyone (including himself) he’s "doing okay."
Plot summary from IMDb: Follows David as he moves back home to be with his mother for the year between her giving up her fight against cancer and slowly dying. Davids relationship with his family is, at best, strained (especially in regard to his father) because of an apparent difficulty in accepting his homosexuality. Although the subject matter is genuinely distressing, his mothers death ultimately helps restore his familial bonds and become an integrated part of the family unit again.
Awards: 3 wins & 10 nominations.
Runtime: 97 min
