About this product

Product Information

Katie Holmes is outstanding as the title character in Peter Hedges's PIECES OF APRIL. Holmes stars as April Burns, the black sheep of her family who has left suburbia for a Lower East Side tenement. To reconnect with her mother, Joy (Patricia Clarkson), and father, Jim (Oliver Platt), she invites them and her wisecracking brother (John Gallagher Jr.) and perfect sister (Alison Pill) for Thanksgiving dinner at her apartment, and against their better judgment, the Burnses pile up in the family station wagon, pick up Grandma (Alice Drummond), and head to the big city from the safe confines of their stereotypical suburban home. But Joy is seriously ill, complicating the road trip; meanwhile, April's oven is broken, sending her off to her bizarre and wacky neighbors to try to borrow their kitchen. Her interaction with Wayne (Sean Hayes) is a riot.Holmes is a revelation as April, showing marvelous range and depth as the outcast daughter who still strives for her mother's affection. Derek Luke is excellent as April's caring boyfriend, who understands how important this Thanksgiving dinner is to her. Platt is solid as the father, with just the right amount of vulnerability, but Clarkson nearly steals the movie; she takes over the screen in every scene she's in. Hedges's directorial debut, following screenplays for WHAT'S EATING GILBERT GRAPE, ABOUT A BOY, and A MAP OF THE WORLD, is well-paced and fun to watch. The soundtrack features music by Stephin Merritt with the 6ths and Magnetic Fields.

    I could have really liked it all.....

    The movie had great acting. For the most part it was very believable. I really enjoyed the the parts of the movie that showed the struggles to make a home made thanksgiving dinner, by a disfunctional young girl who had little to work with. It was entertaining and made some great points about how no matter our differences, we need each other. Love conquers all. I didn't enjoy the parts portraying her disfuntional Mom, Dad brother and sister traveling a few hours in the car to share Thanksgiving dinner with the young girl. That was depressing, boring and just tacky most of the time. So production, casting, location and the main point of the movie were good.

    Pieces of April and First Daughter

    “Pieces of April” was the most bizarre story. So disappointed—thought this would be a possible movie for Thanksgiving but the family in this movie was awful, hideous. As for “First Daughter,” was boring & juvenile.

    Great Indie Classic

    One of the truly down to earth entertainments that has something to say about America. Great performances by all especially Patricia Clarkson and Katie Holmes.

    Pieces of April has all the pieces in the right place.

    Pieces of April is a wonderful movie. The acting is great by all involved, and the plot is engaging with both laughter and heart warming emotion.
