After a decade of estrangement, Krisha (Krisha Fairchild, in a stunning, film-stealing performance) shows up for Thanksgiving and is met with a mixture of warmth and wariness. As her attempts at reconciliation are rebuffed, tension and suspicion peak, and everyone is immersed in an emotionally charged reckoning. Ah, the holidays with family. With a cast of mostly non-actors, Trey Edward Shults’s Krisha is a vivid psychodrama and a remarkable debut feature from a director you need to keep your eye on—especially after this film and his follow up from earlier this year, It Comes at Night.

The screening is part of Art House Theater Day, which celebrates the art house theater and the cultural role it plays in a community. It is a day to recognize the year-round contributions of film and filmmakers, patrons, projectionists, and staff, and the brick and mortar theaters that are passionately dedicated to providing access to the best cinematic experience.
