It's another edition of our DINNER & A MOVIE of FRIDAY FAMILY FILM NIGHT - in which the Mister and I review WE ARE WHAT WE ARE (2013), currently streaming on Amazon Prime/Tubi/Vudu/Sling and Pluto TV. Based off writer/director's Jorge Michel Grau's SOMOS LO QUE HAY (2010), this incarnation of the story follows the Parkers, who have lived in a non-descript remote rural town somewhere in America. In the opening sequence, the matriarch is suddenly cut down and the eldest daughter, Iris (Ambyr Childers) must assume the family legacy and traditions. Middle daughter, Rose (Julia Garner) is caught between her love for her older sister and the desperate need to save herself before she succumbs to the darkness in which the rituals will plunge her into. Bill Sage plays Frank Parker, in a tour de force performance that will leave you chilled to the bone. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
Shout out to Tony M for recommending this movie.
