The tense atmosphere at home escalates due to an impending hurricane, leading to dark secrets being exposed and disturbing events unfolding.
Riassunto
House of Yes (1997), directed by Mark Waters, is a dark comedy-drama based on Wendy MacLeod's play of the same name. Set during Thanksgiving in the 1980s, the film explores the dysfunctional dynamics of the Pascal family through the lens of Jackie-O's obsessive and unsettling behavior towards her brother, Anthony, and her fixation with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. As the narrative unfolds amidst a brewing hurricane and familial tension, it becomes clear that each member of the family harbors their own problems, leading to a disturbing climax.
