"Family" is rarely laugh-out-loud funny...but it has a good-natured charm, the underutilized presence of Brian Tyree Henry as a martial-arts instructor, and [Taylor] Schilling to make it more memorable than it has a right to be. Apr 25, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Steiner's dull comedy lacks the crucial feelings that could have made the suburban aunt-niece tale at its center more memorable. Apr 19, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

"Family," Laura Steinel's lightweight first feature, relies on audiences buying into the old chestnut that difficult women would be happier (or just easier to be around) if forced to care for a child. Apr 18, 2019 | Full Review…

I laughed real, deep, unable to stop myself laughs. This sweet script is funny, fresh and moving. But... it's set in the oddly dark world of Juggalos which it made it struggle with marketing. Jun 11, 2019 | Rating: 8 | Full Review…

It's a brisk watch that packs in jokes. The cast is supremely talented and delivers at every turn. Most of all, Family is a movie that celebrates what makes us all different and the best of us. May 4, 2019 | Full Review…
