Brilliant dark comedy with rays of sunshine

Rating: 10/10 (10 May 2017)

A dark comedy about adult daughter and parent relationships. Kim Bassinger's character is powerful as the Head of the Justice Department. However her daughter subverts Kim's power by activist Protest. While Ryan Gossling's prepubescent daughter is the wisest oldest soul in the film.
The comic timing of Ryan Gossling and Russel Crow further the storyline's Shakespearean flow and depth. Universal skeletons in a domestic contextual closet get a good airing with the fast pace of a string of conflict situations which are lifelike negotiations.
