The aunt and uncle who bring Davey’s family to stay with them in Los Alamos are controlling, each in his or her own way. She gives it a similar place in her closet in New Mexico. The contents are not revealed, but it is clearly connected to her father. It takes up a considerable amount of space in her suitcase.
As Davey packs, she takes a paper bag from the corner of her closet. Holland has an expressive face for a performer so young and knows just how far to take her expressiveness.Īfter her father’s funeral in Atlantic City, Davey and her family experience a harrowing night at home, and her mother (Amy Jo Johnson- Flashpoint ) decides to accept the offer of relatives to leave the area for a respite. Holland is impressive in her portrayal of Davey, who holds her grief and anger very tightly inside, her feelings too raw to let out.
Here is a story sensitively told and depicted with an understated strength.
