The film takes enormous risks, not the least of which is its open and unabashed appeal to the heart.

John Lithgow plays a man who fears a nuclear doomsday and so maintains a state of the art food bunker.

Taylor Schilling plays a career-obsessed woman with no personal life challenged with watching her awkward niece.

Director and writer Madeleine Olnek has a hoot sending up and tearing down Emily Dickinson’s priggish image.

In less than 10 minutes, a few vignettes are enough to depict an insightful character study.

This daring and thought-provoking comedy-drama centers on something decidedly unsexy yet vital: the act of community-building.
