Independent Cinema for Everyone

When Krisha shows up at her sister's Texas home on Thanksgiving morning, her family greet her with a mixture of warmth and wariness. Almost immediately, a palpable unease permeates the air, one which only grows in force as Krisha gets to work cooking the turkey and trying to make up for lost time by catching up with her various relatives. As Krisha's attempts at reconciliation become increasingly rebuffed, tension and suspicion reach their peak, with long-buried secrets and deep-seated resentments coming to the fore. An extraordinary film with a central performance that is astonishingly good.
