Lionsgate Films

Here is a profound film about class in America. It's adapted from a book by author Dirk Wittenborn, about a massage therapist, Liz Earl (played by Diane Lane), who wants to leave New York City to join the father of her son. Liz is mostly absent from her son Finn's (Anton Yelchin) life, and so Finn grows up watching home movies from his dad, an anthropologist in South America. Liz decides to cater to a wealthy client, Ogden C. Osborne (Donald Sutherland), and takes Finn with her to Osborne's palatial estate. How will Finn fare being around the wealthy inhabitants of Osborne's home? Dramatic, comedic, mysterious, and loaded with important questions about life in the modern world, Fierce People is difficult to categorize, but easy to qualify. It's great. - forrest green III
