Fireflies in the Garden

In this haunting family drama of recrimination and reconciliation, Lisa Waechter is at the center of the story playing a beleaguered family matriarch who has subordinated her needs and desires to those of her family, particularly her cold, demanding husband. Lisa's sudden death brings her entire clan together and triggers a series of flashbacks that reveal how the seeds of today's discontent were planted years earlier. Juxtaposing past and present in a fluid, lyrical, and emotionally resonant manner, "Fireflies in the Garden" shows us that, while family is hard to live with, it is impossible to live without.

    Rated - 5 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    Very Good Film

    Just saw this at cinema

    It was simply brilliant

    It will be one of those films that wont get any credit.

    Very realistic

    Good dramatic performances by big names.

    Definately worth a watch. Went to see it thinking it wouldnt be that good but I was surprisingly impressed.
