What people are saying
‘"It’s a gut-punch and cinematic achievement on personal, social and cultural levels. … could well be the most important and relevant American film I’ll see this year "‘
Lotti Pharriss Knowles
‘"Justin’s sensitive study of his family is well worth watching. In the end, even though the rest of us may not be worrying about paying an inheritance tax, we do want to pass on what we have to our children. The surprising similarities, their problems and solutions, between your family and Schien’s, might be more numerous than you thought."‘
