Chicago – The opening moments of Anne Renton’s feature debut, “The Perfect Family,” paint a typically cheery portrait of suburbia, complete with a sign displaying the generic tagline, “An Enjoyable Town.” It’s the sort of neighborhood audiences have seen countless times before in indies aiming to depict the “dark side” of small town America, a la “Blue Velvet.”
When uptight Catholic server, Eileen (Kathleen Turner), accidentally spills a handful of communion wafers and secretly shoves them in her mouth with the exquisite clumsiness of Lucille Ball at the chocolate factory, I was fully prepared for this film to devolve into a caustic slice of familial dysfunction along the lines of “Another Happy Day,” populated with shrill stereotypes and Puritanical basket cases. “The Perfect Family” could’ve easily been that movie, but it isn’t. In fact, it’s a much more tender and thoughtful picture than one would expect.

Director: Anne Renton Writers: Paula Goldberg, Claire V. Riley Starring: Emily Deschanel, Jason Ritter, Kathleen Turner, Richard Chamberlain, Elizabeth Peña, Michael McGrady, Sharon Lawrence, Kristen Dalton, Scott Michael Campbell, Angelique Cabral With The Perfect Family, director Anne Renton poses the age old question: aren't Catholics silly? They have a holier than thou attitude because they go to church so frequently and do penance just as often. They strive for sainthood and obey every word of their supreme leader, the Pope. They also believe that their god is the cause of everything that happens to them (no matter if its good or bad) because its all part of their god's plan; in turn, they tend to say a lot of prayers for everything and everyone. Eileen (Kathleen Turner) is one such dedicated Catholic; in fact, she is so devout that she has been nominated as a contender for Catholic Woman of the Year.

She's got another project premiering at the film festival further downtown. In The Perfect Family, Turner stars as a meddling matriarch and devout Catholic whose nomination for a church award makes her more determined to rein in her husband and two grown children into her image of what the perfect family should look like. The film also stars Emily Deschanel, Jason Ritter, Richard Chamberlain, Sharon Lawrence, Elizabeth Pena and Michael McGrady. Anne Renton makes her feature directing debut on a script written by Claire V. Riley and Paula Goldberg. The film gets its debut screening April 24.

Director Anne Renton's new film The Perfect Family will be making its debut at the Tribeca Film Festival next month. Here's the synopsis from the fest's website:
In this sweet family drama, a devout Catholic (Kathleen Turner) in the running for the coveted Catholic Woman of the Year award must prove that her family actually conforms to the image of "the perfect family" as envisioned by the church, an image she's put forth with considerable effort her whole life.
The problem? Her daughter, played by Emily Deschanel, is a lesbian — and she's getting married to a woman (played by Angelique Cabral). This thwarts Kathleen's character's plans, and it'll likely be tragic watching her attempt to figure out how to maintain her "perfect" Catholic family.
There's no trailer yet, but there are a few promo photos available for a sneak peak at the film:
Besides being directed by out filmmaker Renton,...

This year’s Tribeca will be running from Wednesday, April 20 to Sunday, May 1, so its close start date means that the lineup of movies are coming in fast. We’ve already gotten the World Narrative and World Documentary categories, and the next batch of movies have just been revealed.
Thanks to Deadline, we now have movies in the Spotlight, Cinemania, Special Screening and Sports categories. The list isn’t half bad; the one I’m looking forward to the most is The Guard, which got very strong reviews at Sundance earlier this year. All the categories seem to have solid picks, and I’d say this is shaping up to be a good year. Tfs will be there (including me!), so many of these movies will have reviews up on the site when the festival runs. Take a look at it below:

Well, congratulations New Yorkers, because you’ll get to see at least 2 films I saw at Sundance in January, when they screen at the 2011 Tribeca Film Festival, which just announced the second half of its festival lineup – the Spotlight, Cinemania, and Special Screening sections, most notably.
The films I’m referring to are Michael Rapaport’s Tribe Called Quest documentary, Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest, and The Guard, which Don Cheadle co-stars in, as an FBI agent (or is it CIA).
I’m still planning on going through the full list of entries to spotlight any titles worthy of this website, and I’ll do that in coming days/weeks… definitely before the festival begins next month – a festival I plan to attend, since it’s right in my backyard.
Worth noting is that Rapaport’s doc will be making its New York premiere, the...
