starstarstarstar
Writer-director Thom Fitzgerald's astonishing debut feature is the kind of emotionally complex film that many filmmakers spend entire careers trying to make. After a 10-year absence, Ian Parsons returns to his seriously dysfunctional family home to attend sister Kerry Fox's wedding. He left a 350-pound, closeted homosexual teenager, after failing to hang himself in his father's garden; he returns a slim, attractive and relatively well-adjusted openly gay man. Back home, however, it's business as usual. Read the complete review for The Hanging Garden
