Are they heading for a car crash? Well actually yes, in a manner of speaking, but not for now… It’s an easy metaphor for where this ambitious but intimate family drama from It Comes At Night director Trey Shults will take the two together – an anxiety-making opener that also speaks to the here-and-now elation of love and youth and how fragile that can be....
