In his remarkably assured directorial debut, Patrick Wang offer a sensitive story of a child custody battle in a two-Dad family. Wang also gives an outstanding performance as Joey, a gay Asian American man living in the South whose idyllic life is torn asunder when he loses his adopted son after the death of his partner. This is an absorbing, courageous first feature shown in the context of marriage equality laws pending across the country. Removing all potential controversy from such a tale, In The Family offers a profound and poetic launching point for healing and clarity.
