If you loved Bad Words, try The Family Fang

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What The Family Fang is

Rural New York. Autumn. A ringing telephone. Two adult siblings, both wounded, arrive at their childhood home after their performance-artist parents go missing. Long-simmering resentments bubble to the surface. Bateman's second directorial effort softens the source novel's sharper edges.
