 BREAKUP SEASON
Not Rated (1h 42m)
Comedy/Drama
A young man brings his girlfriend to his rural Oregon hometown to introduce her to his family, only for things to go terribly wrong upon arrival. Starring Chandler Riggs, Samantha Isler, Brook Hogan. Directed by H. Nelson Tracey.
Review by Paul Turner:
For the holidays, a young couple from LA visits his family in remote LeGrand, Oregon. While there, the relationship dissolves. Awkward. A snowstorm hits. Awkward-er.
Will this turn into a horror movie? Or worse, a Hallmark movie?
Cassie (Samantha Isler, MOLLY’S GAME) realizes her relationship with Ben (Chandler Riggs, WALKING DEAD) is not what she needs. Rather than faking it, she asserts her individuality, does the hard thing, and breaks up with him. She doesn’t compromise herself.
But the magic is in the family who rolls with it. Mia (Brook Hogan, FUN HOUSE) is THE mom who ascends beyond the holiday cliché without losing the warmth. James Urbaniak (OPPENHEIMER) plays Kirby, the dad, immersed in his love of trains. He brings that joy to the family, unfazed by Ben and Cassie’s relationship drama. Gordon (Jacob Wysocki, PITCH PERFECT) is the perfectly prickly loser brother whose character develops beyond the formula.
The rest of the cast, including Carly Stewart who plays Liz, Ben’s young sister, all bring delightful performances to the screen.
BREAKUP SEASON doesn’t need surprises; the acting is spot-on, the production value is high, and the writing is tight. And just like Cassie, BREAKUP SEASON sticks to its promise to tell a story about graciousness in what could have otherwise been a lousy holiday.
