In the high-stakes world of political campaigning, directors Kari Hollend and Cristina Bishai deliver a gripping docume...
On the eve of their father’s 70th birthday, the dysfunctional Meyerwitz family is thrown into chaos by a brutally honest—and wildly successful—novel. The source of the scandal is the youngest sibling, Nathan, played by Ben Schwartz, whose fictionalized tell-all, “Peep World,” paints a savagely unflattering portrait of his entire family. His brother Jack, a perpetually stressed businessman portrayed by Michael C. Hall, is furious. His sister Cheri, brought to life by Sarah Silverman, is a hot mess seeking revenge, while their other brother, the hapless and unemployed Joel played by Rainn Wilson, sees potential opportunity in the debacle. As the family gathers for a birthday dinner hosted by their patriarch, Ron Rifkin, long-buried resentments and secrets erupt in a whirlwind of comedic confrontation. Directed by Barry W. Blaustein, this sharp R-rated comedy explores the messy bonds of family through a lens of cringe-worthy humor and surprising heart, asking what happens when your private world becomes a very public spectacle.
