Boundaries

Entrepreneurial ambitions complicate a straightforward road trip, as a mother (Vera Farmiga as Laura Jaconi) agrees to transport her mischievous father (Christopher Plummer as Jack Jaconi) to a location where his passions will be viewed less dismissively.

The next generation (Lewis MacDougall as Henry), having recently been expelled from school, curiously comes along, sort of eager to spend time with grandpa, unaware they'll be visiting his deadbeat dad (Bobby Cannavale as Leonard).

So many different paths to tread, so many ways in which they intertwine, a crash course in extracurricular enigmatic eccentricity mysteriously thrilling young Henry, as they travel from contact to contact, conjuring spells as pitstops confuse trusting mom.

She's truly wonderful.

Her magnanimous heart endears her to animals and she consistently comes to the aid of the lost and downtrodden.

Unfortunately this leads people to take advantage of her, some harmless, some cruel, all of them blind to the fact that they've encountered a resplendent sun, inside and out, who transforms tumbledown lots into palatial realms, worthy of uncompromised praise and adoration, if the self-obsessed would only think past craven impulse, and consider abundant rays down the road.

Shana Feste's Boundaries presents lighthearted mischief which is intense at times yet still wondrously illuminates candid impropriety.

As the tender loving embraces the devoutly incorrigible, multigenerational muses thoughtfully materialize.

Forbidden portraits.

Conjugal miscommunication.

Evergreen commerce.

Therapeutic theatrics.

If you don't simply fit there's freedom in the labyrinthine.

Constant flux may be tiring, but spontaneous adjustments create grand novelties.

Chaotic logic rationally intensifying.

Kafkaesque at times.

Nice to head out for ice cream.

Accept Boundaries as a clever comedic reflection upon individuals conceiving unique masternarratives, and embrace a steady flow of unexpected conditional ruses.

Full of existential craft.

And love scolding ever after.

Loved it.
