Watch The Family Fang For Free

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I liked all of the performances. How can you not? The actors are awarded household names. That said, the story is full on bad taste, beginning to end. I was not aware there was a book. I read a review saying the book is better and did not translate well onto the screen. Well, I can see that. If one would tell me the whole story of this movie one day, and if they were a good story teller, there is a chance I would find it a little amusing. To make matters worse, the movie starts a plot that grows into a crescendo that just does not pay off at the end. Without spoiling, I will say, I felt personally depressed by how poorly constructed and little grasp of reality the story takes a turn into so it can get finalized. To say something positive, the music is fun. The catchy song the kids perform saying that they should kill their parents is hilarious.

A brother and sister return to their family home in search of their world famous parents who have disappeared. My main problem with The Family Fang is not the actors i honestly think that Jason Bateman is a great actor and a director because i did liked his first work which was the comedy Bad Words also Nicole Kidman and Christopher Walken did a pretty cool job as well my actually problem with the film were the characters i just couldn't support them at all they were super weird and not in a good way. The direction was good, the actors were great but the script and the characters themselves ruined the film for me and that's why i'm gonna give it an 5.0/10!!

Wow, weird one, this. For most part it's uninvolving and even sleep- inducing. And I wouldn't say it's put together successfully: too much empty talk and too little character development or concentrating on family dynamics.But it does raise interesting questions about how or why parents are to blame for shortfalls in their offsprings' later independent life. And the short but quite powerful finale does lift it somewhere higher than before. At least it did for me.The story is about adult brother and sister (Nicole Kidman, Jason Bateman) not enjoying their adult existence and blaming parents for not raising them the proper way. But the latter (Christopher Walken, Maryann Plunkett) are lifelong controversial performance artists who claim that true art is more important than being like everybody else.I haven't read the successful 2011's novel by Kevin Wilson the movie is based on but Bateman, also directing, seemed to be struggling with the adaptation. Movie as a whole is in terrible need for some balancing. The scenes with parents are functional, thanks to evercool Walken. But the story concentrates mostly on adult children who are so devoid of charm or anything remotely interesting that may put me almost to sleep. Think "The Royal Tenenbaums" but without the fun parts or unique voice of Wes Anderson.I am not sure what is it with Kidman and Bateman. They both can be really cool given some good material but they rarely manage to find something worthwhile. This is not the good project their fans have been looking for.

Baxter (Jason Bateman) and Annie (Nicole Kidman) Fang are siblings of a very special family who made fame for themselves in the kids' youth as for their public performances of vanguard art which consisted in a rupture of social and everyday standards. The whole family comes back together and Annie and Baxter and to confront their parents and their unusual past to figure out their now unbalanced life.I am a deep lover of cinema, every time I go to the theater I genuinely go there, no matter what the movie, to appreciate cinema and even when watching bad films I always try to get something out of it. Unfortunately and most sadly, every now and then a film comes along where I just find myself lost for much to say. Being a big Jason Bateman fan myself it really pains me to say that I really hated this film and despite the fact that I saw Bateman making the film he wanted I just could not bear to stay with this film.Contrary to one of the film I most hated in recent times like "Serena" (2014), I cannot say this film ever really got me annoyed or unnerved for its content. It is not one of those films where it happens that you get talked down which for me are the worst kind of experiences that get me angry and offended. "The Family Fang" is simply a deeply disorienting film from tone to script to editing to, even if I don't like to talk about elements that are not part of the film, its poster.What basically makes this film unsettlingly weird from the start and on which the rest it builds on is the basic premise. The idea of these performances by the family. I had no fuc*ing idea what the hell was going on. The film repeatedly reflects this sentiment the audience will probably feel with extras in it, but this doesn't suddenly make it tangible and understandable, least of all it does give it the sense it desperately needs.You are led to believe that offending two kids in public, making them kiss through a play despite the fact that they are siblings or assaulting a chicken sandwich stand should be these great polarizing pieces of vanguard-modern art. The film asks you to believe that there is a conflict there, that this has an effect on the world and on our characters, but since the dynamic is never nor convincing nor interesting it simply has no effect whatsoever on the film.So then you are guided through a journey into a dysfunctional family where you feel absolutely lost and the film's style certainly doesn't help. The editing is disjointed and there are sequences played with classical music which I still have to figure out the reason for. The shots moreover are all over the place, a mishmash of Wes Anderson's geometrical style, with standard coverage and a spice of weird tracking shots which when added together just resulted in a truly chaotic experience for the mind in the first place, then when I just had given up on the film I kept being bewildered.Moreover, the drama, certainly because of all of the above lackluster elements, but mostly because of a murky script, is truly boring. The conflict doesn't exist, you don't't understand what this characters' problems are, the focus is never pulled on something and it comes out as this generic family drama that has absolutely no emotional investment. The plot turns are the only thing that apparently come close to feeling exciting, then what is truly under them is unveiled and I frowned deeper into my seat for that."The Family Fang" is a film that really got on the wrong side of me. As a film lover I had almost nothing to take away from it and that really makes me sad because understand the effort that goes into filmmaking and whilst Bateman and his fellow filmmakers might be proud of what they have made and have every right in the world to be so, I personally found myself truly and unluckily wanting to escape the theater.
