Acclaimed by The New York Times on its 2011 release as ‘one of the most accomplished directorial debuts this year’, writer-director Patrick Wang’s first feature is a quiet epic of love, grief and the treacherous social politics of family life in middle America. In the Family set the tone for Wang’s future features – all of which are playing this week at the ICA.
His mother having died during childbirth, six-year-old Chip Hines (Sebastian Banes) has only known life with his two dads: Cody (Trevor St John), his biological father, and Joey (Wang), Cody’s new partner. The three of them live a happy life together in Martin, Tennessee – until an unexpected tragedy upends the family, causing a schism from which it could prove impossible to recover.
