Writer/director Bart Freundlich makes his film debut with "THE MYTH OF FINGERPRINTS," starring Noah Wyle, Julianne Moore, Hope Davis, Blythe Danner, Roy Scheider, Michael Vartan, Laurel Holloman, Arija Bareikis, Brian Kerwin and James LeGros. Produced by Good Machine, Eureka Pictures and writer/director Freundlich, the film had its world premiere at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival.

"THE MYTH OF FINGERPRINTS" is the funny, sharply observed tale of an uneasy and emotionally charged New England family reunion. From the outside, they seem like a perfectly normal American family. But it's been three years since they have gathered together. Now the four adult children, Warren (Noah Wyle), Mia (Julianne Moore), Jake (Michael Vartan) and Leigh (Laurel Holloman), are finally returning home for Thanksgiving to their eccentric, self-absorbed father (Roy Scheider) and their gentle mother (Blythe Danner). And, as if tensions weren't strained enough by this reunion, Mia and Jake bring along their significant others (Brian Kerwin and Hope Davis), and Warren is contacted by the ex-girlfriend (Arija Bareikis) he has been pining for.

First-time writer/director Bart Freundlich finds comedy and pathos in the edgy moments that break out unexpectedly between family members, cracking the fragile veneer of family life. In an atmosphere of enforced holiday togetherness, the group is forced to face its hidden truths. With wit and sly observation, Freundlich gradually uncovers the secrets and resentments that lie under the handsomely composed faces of his stellar cast and the ravishing images of cinematographer Stephen Kazmierski.

For anyone who has survived a tense Thanksgiving with their family, "THE MYTH OF FINGERPRINTS" will be a deeply familiar and vividly moving experience

Here's the trailer: www.sonypictures.com/clas...ailer.html

I really liked it. It was highly dysfuntional...so I could relate. Wish MV had more of a part in it, but I enjoyed what I did see. Plus, I love Julianne Moore and Noah Wyle, so I couldn't lose. It was kind of odd seeing a younger Michael. This was released in 1997, so he was 29. Plus, his hair looks blonder. Noah Wyle looks adorable...just like Carter. And Julianne Moore is beautiful in my opinion. Get to see MV gettin' it on with his girlfriend a couple times... Ok...I gotta go to sleep...it's 2:30am and I have to get up at 7am for work!

Yeah, I liked it. But I really like the whole cast. Julianne Moore, Noah Wyle, Michael.
