You really have to buckle in for the first 30 minutes, and then WHAM. I found myself relating to Patty a little too much. The social awkwardness, the messy yet deeply familiar family dynamics—it’s all beautifully portrayed. The way the film weaves separate stories together adds layers to its characters, each one aching for connection and understanding. And that moment of standing up for yourself, even when it means taking a beating? Powerful.
Visually captivating, with storytelling that pulls you in, Dinner in America delivers a raw, rebellious energy. And that twist? Loved it.
