The Myth of Fingerprints
"Absorbing! A fascinating portrait of modern American Gothic angst." -Bruce Williamson, Playboy
Blythe Danner, Julianne Moore, Roy Scheider and Noah Wyle head up an incredible cast in this bittersweet comedy about a family reunion that goes awry.
Wyle stars as Warren, who returns home after a three-year absence and soon falls into the uneasy rhythms of his childhood: Bickering with his siblings, hanging out with his stoner buddies, and avoiding his strange, cold father. But when Warren's ex-girlfriend reappears, she becomes the catalyst for a Thanksgiving that changes everything. The Myth Of Fingerprints is a powerful story about the complexity of life, love and family.

Good, but you have to like slow-burning movies that only make one point - mbg-
This is one of those movies that takes 90 minutes to make a single point. It makes the point well, and it means that it's a pretty good movie despite its short length.
But, if you've seen movies like this before, you probably don't need to see another one. It's a dysfunctional family movie where most of the family members tred on eggshells around each other for most of the movie, except for one or two of the non-family members who share the house for the Thanksgiving holiday and try to blow things apart (which is refreshing).
If it sounds appealing to you after reading this, you'll probably like it. It's well-acted and the pace is nicely even.Why I love independent film - bartonfink
This movie has it all, a story with depth and meaning, great acting, exquistite dialogue, and motivated cinematography. All without the burden of a big budget and the commercial demands placed upon it to open huge on its first weekend.
It excels admirably in a simultaneously simple and complex manner. Recommended to anyone who wants to sit down with something other than The Fast and the Furious.
