Summaries

An emotionally-stunted aunt tries to bond with her 13-year-old niece, who wants nothing more than to run away and become a Juggalo.

Kate Stone (Taylor Schilling) is career-focused, and enjoys her life that way. Her brash attitude keeps relationships at arm's length, making her an outcast in her own right. When her estranged brother calls asking her to babysit her tween niece Maddie, Kate reluctantly agrees to help. But babysitting overnight unexpectedly turns into a week, and Kate's life spins into chaos. As Maddie reveals stories of being bullied and of wanting to run away and be a Juggalo, the two form a unique bond. In "Family," Schilling delivers a delightful, layered comedic performance. Laura Steinel's debut feature has heart, reminding us that family can be found in all different forms.
