Family can be exhausting and disappointing, yet their approval is something we all strive for. What better movie to watch this Thanksgiving than Uncle Frank on Amazon Prime.
Starring Paul Bettany (best known as Vision in The Avengers) as a closted gay man trying to come to terms with his past trauma and potential judgement from his family, the film combines the Southern family drama with a coming of age story. Funny, beautifully shot and deeply moving, Uncle Frank looks at generational trauma and how our own family can surprise us.
I had the opportunity to chat with Bettany, director Alan Ball, and costars Peter Macdissi, Sophia Lillis, Judy Greer, and Lois Smith about their personal inspirations for the film and why now is the best time to tell this story.
Uncle Frank is available on Amazon Prime now!
