JEAN OF THE JONESES Trailer | TIFF 2021

A hit at TIFF 2016, Stella Meghie's whip-smart comedy focuses on twentysomething writer Jean (Taylour Paige), who seeks solace from a failed relationship and a vista of unenticing career prospects by hanging out with her mother, grandmother, and two aunts in their Brooklyn apartment. The death of the clan's estranged patriarch, and the ensuing chaos as the women attempt to plan his funeral, compels the assorted Joneses to confront their complex family history, end their constant bickering and judging, and do their best to figure themselves out and understand each other.

Official Selection, 2016 Toronto International Film Festival

I loved this movie's deliberate pace and wonderful performances. The spiky, loyal family relationships are hilarious and spot-on. Recommended!

This is one of the saddest, most depressing movies I have ever seen. This is what generational curses look like in real life. So much truth here with those that have eyes to see.
