so much drama
Mama Joe is the matriarch of her family and holding it together for the last forty years with Sunday dinners of soul food. She navigates all the drama and connects with everyone. After her surgery sends her into a coma, the family struggles as it falls apart.I really like this family until they start self-destructing. It is so frustrating to see them fall into every trap and step directly onto every pitfall. It’s a lot of drama and melodrama. It’s almost too much. I want to simply pull it back a little. Instead of actual cheating, they could kiss and push away. Instead of pulling a gun, he could just throw a punch. I want the drama to simmer down and let the characters breathe. It’s about the sisters and their relationships. I still like the movie.
