Jim Jarmusch’s FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER is resolutely muted, but nonetheless very warm and funny (and features a rare appearance by Tom Waits as a normal human being). Review in @bostonhassle.bsky.social— catch it at @thecoolidge.bsky.social or West Newton Cinema!

Perhaps no film with the premise of “Re-Election” could credibly pull off a forty-something man returning to high school as a student. This one strains as it huffs and puffs its way to the finish line.
