In the shimmering heat of a Labor Day weekend at a lavish family compound in Lake Tahoe, Patricia Clarkson delivers a masterful performance as Celia, the elegant yet frayed matriarch of the wealthy Green family. As her grown sons, played by Zachary Booth and Joseph Cross, arrive with their respective partners—including Rutina Wesley as a grounded newcomer—the stage is set for a weekend of simmering tensions and buried secrets. Celia has orchestrated this gathering with a specific, unsettling purpose in mind, one that threatens to unravel the carefully maintained facade of their privileged lives. Directed by Tom Dolby and Tom Williams, this sharply observed drama-comedy navigates the treacherous waters of family dynamics, class, and the weight of unspoken truths. Judith Light and Mary Kay Place add depth as old friends caught in the emotional crossfire, while the stunning lakeside setting contrasts beautifully with the characters' internal storms. Over the course of this long weekend, the Greens must confront the gap between who they appear to be and who they truly are, making for a compelling and bittersweet exploration of modern family life.
