Brigid (Beanie Feldstein) and Richard (Steven Yeun) host Thanksgiving in their dark, dank Manhattan apartment, welcoming Brigid's family: parents Deirdre (Jayne Houdyshell) and Erik (Richard Jenkins), grandmother Momo (June Squibb), and sister Aimee (Amy Schumer). As the evening progresses, the family confronts personal struggles, including critical relationships, past traumas, and emotional tensions. Eerie noises and a growing sense of unease heighten the psychological drama, revealing each character's deepest fears and vulnerabilities. As secrets emerge and family dynamics unravel, they must determine whether their familial bond can withstand the weight of their individual challenges. This is a 2021 American psychological drama adapted from Stephen Karam's Tony Award-winning play and directed by Karam himself.
