A Japanese-Canadian woman grapples with the death of her mother as she brings her family to a retreat. When her relationship with her husband begins to affect the children's emotional security, the family is changed forever.
Kevin Ward reviewedJuly 1, 2025
I didn’t buy into all aspects of this, but it’s a solid family drama. Judith, grieving the loss of her mom and struggling to maintain connection and spark in her marriage brings her husband and two children on a family wellness retreat. The couples therapy doesn’t exactly bring Judith and Steve closer together. The interactions with the other couple, both the attraction/sexual tension between Judith and Pat, as well as Steve’s jealousy landed a little on the melodramatic side for me. But I liked the depiction of how microaggressions and casual racism played into the deterioration of the family unit. Didn’t care for how this ended though. It’s a little too bleak for my taste.
