Taylor Schilling is a revelation. Coupled with the delightful Bryn Vale and a solid supporting cast (Allison Tolman, Kate McKinnon), Schilling emerges from "Family" and SXSW as THE actor to watch in the coming years
Laura Steinel's amiable debut is carried by Schilling's manic performance; Family is funny in bits and pieces, but so obvious in terms of its eventual direction that it might have been better served by less plot and more clowning around
Laura Steinel gives a powerful and hilariously heartfelt first feature; Taylor Schilling gives her finest performance to date alongside the fantastic performance by Bryn Vale. "Family" is hilariously funny reminding us that it is okay just to be yourself
