City Island (2009)






















Written and Directed: Raymond De Felitta
Cast: Andy Gracia, Emily Mortimer

When I saw the credits roll, and Vince Rizzo, is ready to reveal his biggest secret, I realized, I am going to like this one. A story of a dysfunctional family who have been hiding the facts from each other. Though in more than one way they know that they are hiding something. An slightly over the top, last minute finale, but definitely a lot of thoroughly enjoyable moments all through.

Emily Mortimer, I have been noticing her in some movies, and always find her doing roles as women who are weak and vulnerable. Is that supposed to be a stereotype, who will break the rut?
