Lightning Bugs in a Jar
CinemaSerf3 April 2024
Mother "Farrah" (Betsy Aidem) arrives at her old house to find son "Max" (Devin McDuffee) flagrante delicto with boyfriend "Ben" (Ethan Slater). She's not especially bothered about that, it's just that there are jobs to be done clearing out their former home, and it's soon quite clear that it's not just that that needs a good airing. This crams quite a lot of family tension into twenty minutes but sadly very little of it is innovate or well acted. The dynamic between mother and son is overcooked and contrived and the pacifying interventions of "Ben" predictable. It looks OK, but there's very little natural or convincing about it.
