Bateman is becoming a good director
Delicate and carefully considered, The Family Fang officially proves Jason Bateman is a filmmaker to watch for in the years-to-come. An observant, thoughtful little family drama that’s filled with melancholy, dark humor and restraint, his sophomore feature behind his promising directorial debut, 2013’s pretty good Bad Words, demonstrates the Arrested Development actor is an arresting, patient director in his own right. Somber without getting drab, and touching without becoming sappy, it’s a mature, well-worn film from a filmmaker that only continues to get stronger over time. And while it’s not without some bumpiness and rough patches, it demonstrates Bateman is an actor-director with some bite: http://www.cutprintfilm.com/reviews/the-family-fang/
