Home for the Holidays (1995)
Anne's Niche: Actress
Character: Adele Larson
Cast and Crew
My Too Cents:
Synopsis:
___As usual, it's a lousy
Thanksgiving. Claudia Larson (Holly Hunter) has just lost her job; her teenage
daughter (Claire Danes) is determined to lose her virginity; her intrusive
parents (Anne Bancroft and Charles Durning) seem to have lost their minds.
From a sharp, jaundiced script by W.D. Richter (BUCKAROO BANZAI), Jodie Foster
has directed a poisoned paean to the great American tradition of torturous
family gatherings. Granted, the Lawson family verges on caricature, from the
acerbic gay son (Robert Downey Jr.) to dotty Aunt Gladys (Geraldine Chaplin).
But whose family doesn't, when the holiday chips are down?
