The Dissection of Thanksgiving is quite an intriguing character study, set against the backdrop of Buffalo, NY. You’ve got Cliff and Carol Morgan, who decide to make a big announcement over what’s supposed to be a cozy pre-Thanksgiving dinner with their adult kids. The pacing feels a bit off, which actually adds to the tension and awkwardness, reflecting real family dynamics. The blend of comedy and drama is deftly handled, with moments of levity cutting through some heavier themes like divorce and family disintegration. The performances are quite compelling; there’s a rawness to how each character grapples with their reality. It’s not flashy, but rather a thoughtful exploration of relationships and the ways we cope with impending change.
