Trailer & Synopsis
A pitch-black comedy about family dynamics and trauma-bonding, The House of Yes features a mesmerising turn from Parker Posey. Marty (Josh Hamilton) is a high society guy, home for Thanksgiving with his working class newly-minted fiancée Lesly (Tori Spelling). His WASP-y mother and younger brother naturally think she's not good enough for their boy, but his twin sister Jackie (Posey) reacts much more strongly. While Lesly gamely attempts to acclimatise to the family's upper class mannerisms and unwritten rules, Marty slips back into the dysfunctional routines of his childhood and as the family bickers over Thanksgiving "dinner" (light on food, heavy on the booze) a hurricane rages outside and the electricity cuts out, prompting a wave of revelations that will leave them changed forever.
