What They Had

< Return to program

Running time: 98 mins

Some bonds are forever. Ruth briefly disappears when she wanders into a blizzard. This incident triggers her daughter Bridget (Hilary Swank, Academy Award-winner, Million Dollar Baby) to return home on her brother Nicky’s (Michael Shannon, Academy Award-nominee, Revolutionary Road) insistence. While the family deals with Ruth’s illness and family patriarch Burt’s reluctance to let go of their life together, they must face old tensions, strained relationships, and renewed rivalries. Centered on a crisis-stricken home, What They Had packs powerful performances from the cast, including Aimee Garcia (Dexter), Robert Forster (Jackie Brown), and Taissa Farmiga (American Horror Story). This moving and ultimately fulfilling story sports a funny yet sensitive portrayal of a family coming together in a challenging time. – Shwetha VR
