Synopsis
A
wickedly funny and surprisingly moving fable of family, fate and
misfortune in American suburbia, Accidents Happen is the debut film
from Australian filmmaker Andrew Lancaster.
The manicured lawns of 1980’s News England imply an order that
simply doesn’t exist for the Conway family, headed by
razor-tongued Gloria (Geena Davis). Youngest son Billy has been a
witness to a series of tragic accidents, including one that
fractured his whole family. Always
the good boy, Billy takes up with the neighbourhood troublemaker in
acts of delicious delinquency in a world already spinning out of
control. The ensuing collision of guilt, truth and self discovery
may be just what his family needs to move on.
Geena Davis shines as screwball mother Gloria, and Harrison
Gilbertson is equally impressive as her troubled teen son, Billy, in
this heartrendingly funny film that deserves to be seen.
