Description

Pieces of April is a 2003 independent film directed by Peter Hedges. The film tells the story of April Burns, a young woman who is estranged from her family, and her attempts to reconnect with them on Thanksgiving Day. April lives in a run-down apartment in New York City with her boyfriend, Bobby, and is determined to make a traditional Thanksgiving dinner for her family, who are traveling from the suburbs to visit her.

As April struggles to prepare the meal with limited resources and unexpected setbacks, her family members encounter their own obstacles on the way to her apartment. Her mother, Joy, is battling breast cancer and is skeptical about spending Thanksgiving with April. Her father, Jim, is resentful of April's rebellion and her decision to move away from home. Meanwhile, her siblings are dealing with their own personal issues.

Despite the challenges, April and her family come together for an emotional and heartwarming Thanksgiving dinner. The film's cast includes Katie Holmes as April, and Patricia Clarkson as Joy, both of whom deliver strong performances. Pieces of April received critical acclaim for its touching portrayal of family dynamics, its poignant humor, and its realistic depiction of life in New York City. It is a moving and memorable film that celebrates the power of forgiveness, acceptance, and love.

Comedy & Humor
An amusingly ridiculous black comedy "Seven Psychopaths" is a McDonagh's next masterpiece created in a black comedy genre. It tells the story about an author, Marty who is out of inspiration to finish his novel "Seven Psychopaths". Marty is played by an Irish actor, Collin Farrell who may be known to you by his roles in Minority Report (2002), In Bruges (2008) and Total Recall (2012). His friend Billy tries his best to help Marty to finish writing the book "inspiring" him by getting into the troubles, constantly. Billy is portrayed by Sam Rockwell, who is known to you as Sam Bell from Moon (2009) and Kenneth Waters from Conviction (both are serious roles in the serious films with lots of awards and nominations). Billy is a pure criminal with sadistic attitudes, but he is lovely one. Besides his kind heart, he has a crime-partner Hans. This next psychopath is played by Christopher Walken. This great American actor needs no introduction – you know his awesome roles in Kill the Irishman (2012), Hairspray (2007) and Man of the Year (2006). The next psychopath is Charlie (portrayed by Woodrow Tracy "Woody" Harrelson: No Country for Old Men, The Messenger, Defendor, Zombieland). His beloved dog, a rare Shih Tzu was kidnapped by Billy and Hans, and all the movie's action unfolds in this pivotal point. There we meet Angela, played by the "Bond Girl" Olga Kurylenko, Kaya (Abbie Cornish) and Zachariah (Tom Waits) – the last two of the "Seven Psychopaths".
