Watched Family Affairs so you don't have to. You're welcome.

Family Affairs: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

If whispered monologues were currency, Family Affairs would settle the national debt.

Family Affairs has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Family Affairs?

Honestly, Family Affairs would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Family Affairs actually is?

Everyone praising the Family Affairs performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Family Affairs?

Rewatched Family Affairs last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

The cinematography in Family Affairs is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Look, I wanted to love Family Affairs. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
