Bitter Melon
110 min.
A dysfunctional family drama involving a Filipino-American family in the San Francisco Bay Area. At a seemingly-benign holiday reunion, members of the family conspire to murder an abusive member. Despite the film's dark plot, it's rich with culture and comedic moments. It also offers up a nuanced look at cycles of violence and abuse - no one is simply a "bad guy" or "good guy."
