Familia

Costabile’s Familia works because of an incredible cast and a gritty script. It’s proof that even a familiar story can still hit hard when it’s told with honesty and authenticity.

An elegant production with measured visual flourishes, “Familia” tells a familiar familial story. But Costabile’s precise understanding of the fluctuating feelings his characters experience and his casting of actors who can hold all those shades help him conceive a searing picture of a family’s collective private hell.
