Crooked Hearts

Directed by Michael Bortman

Produced by A&M Films, MGM-Pathé Communications

A melancholic family drama that excavates the resentments and secrets festering beneath an upper-middle-class facade, centered on adult children trapped in dysfunction.

An upper-middle class family in Washington state deals with failures, infidelities and troubling secrets. Charley is 26 and still lives at home, despite his simmering anger at his father, Edward. Charley's younger brother, Tom, just dropped out of college and returned home to live. Tom's unstable new girlfriend, Marriet, has designs on joining the family, but she's hardly a calming influence on the crumbling home.
