A movie that has no point

Warning: Spoilers
I saw this movie streaming online. Basically it's about a messed up American middle class family.

The plot is absolutely ridiculous.

The 'story' centers on a middle aged mother and father. They're separated and one daughter still lives at home with her mother. She's about 24 years old.

The mother's about 45, and we learn she has breast cancer. Nothing much happens in the movie except the daughter has sex with this guy and then, bizarrely, the daughter, in an attempt to 'cheer her mom up', seduces the mother in her bedroom. This has to be one of the most stupid things I've seen in movies. The mother isn't shocked and she and the daughter make out kissing passionately. You're made to think they had full sex there and then, and do it again many times in later days and weeks. But nothing is explained and neither the mother or the daughter have any shame. It's so matter of fact and totally unbelievable.

The daughter tells a friend 'it feels' right'. And even the friend isn't shocked.

The acting is like she had sex with her birth mother and no big deal. But it seemed a big enough deal for the director who made a movie about it, but it's not something that is explored in depth and it all seems like a pointless story.

Tha's basically all the movie is about. Avoid.
