Not in My Family

About This Movie

So, 'Not in My Family' is one of those TV movies that really digs deep into some heavy themes. You've got Veronica Ricci, who’s just had her first child, and out of nowhere, she’s hit with these intense feelings and vague memories from her childhood. The pacing is a bit slow, but it allows you to really sit with her emotional journey, which feels raw and real. The tension builds as she reaches out to her estranged sister, and you can feel the weight of their shared history, especially when it connects to childhood abuse. It's a tough watch, but it does a solid job of highlighting the complexities of family trauma without excess melodrama. Not flashy, but definitely compelling in its own right.

Explores themes of childhood trauma.Strong performances, especially from Ricci.Based on true events, adds to the weight.
