The flick: Joshua
Brad (Sam Rockwell) and Abby (Vera Farmiga) have the perfect upwardly mobile life in Manhattan. Brad is excelling at his job, Abby takes care of the family, and their child Joshua is turning out to be the star prodigy of his private school. But things begin to unravel when Joshua is confronted with a baby sister, Lily. What starts with a couple of long nights with Lily slowly descends into madness...but how could anyone blame the prodigal son?
