Two sisters and their families come together in their recently-deceased parents' falling-down country house with chaotic consequences. Miranda (Gemma Whelan) and Dan (Julian Ovenden) are refugees from city life trying to set up a small holding with their kids, and Lyla (Joely Richardson) is a fading Hollywood star married to her alcoholic agent Trent (Michael Landes). Ancient sibling rivalries flare up again to sabotage the hope for a season of goodwill.
If you're British with a dysfunctional family, or, enjoy British humour, it's brilliant. If not, c'est la vie.
