The Inherent Traits of Connor James

About This Movie

So, 'The Inherent Traits of Connor James' is this interesting dark dramedy that really plays with the complexities of relationships and family dynamics. You’ve got Lea and Court, a married couple, who are navigating grief while also dealing with the intricacies of their son’s biological connection to the deceased, Connor. The film has this raw, authentic feel, almost uncomfortable at times, but that’s what makes it stand out. The performances are pretty solid, particularly in how they tackle the emotional weight without slipping into melodrama. It’s one of those films that lingers with you, with its mix of humor and poignancy, and you kind of appreciate its exploration of love and loss wrapped in everyday life.

This film has had a limited release, which makes its availability somewhat rare among collectors. The DVD seems to be the most common format, but it’s not widely circulated, and I’ve seen a few discussions about a potential streaming option that hasn’t materialized yet. Collector interest is growing, especially among those who appreciate LGBTQ narratives and indie films that tackle nuanced themes, so keep an eye out if you’re looking to add something a bit different to your collection.
