The film, based on writer/director Debbie Goodstein's childhood experiences, touches upon the controversial and difficult roles that anger and aggression can play in a family. Mighty Fine tells the story of a 1970's family, who move from Brooklyn to New Orleans in search of a better, more prosperous life. The movie paints the picture of Joe Fine's (Chazz Palminteri) love for his wife (Andie MacDowell) and daughters (Jodelle Ferland and Rainey Qualley), juxtaposed against his explosive, rage-filled side, which he often takes out on those closest to him. The emotional abuse leaves Stella, Maddie, and Natalie conflicted between their love for this charismatic, generous man, and their vulnerability in the face of his unpredictable mood swings. Chazz Palminteri gives the performance of a lifetime, that will mesmerize and haunt viewers.

I will post about the movie here,
on Simply June this weekend. And the movie will be released into select theaters on May 25, 2012.

Lucky you June. I have not heard of this film. It sounds interesting, but not sure that I could handle it. I will be keen to read your take on it.
