For Thanksgiving: ‘Pieces of April’

Posted on November 23, 2011 at 3:56 pm

Another of my favorite Thanksgiving movies is Pieces of April, with Katie Holmes as the estranged daughter making dinner for her family, including her mother (Patricia Clarkson), who is dying of cancer. Derek Luke plays her boyfriend and Alison Pill plays her sister in this brilliantly performed, touching, and warm-hearted story.
