Everyone has seen their fair share of dysfunctional families, sibling rivalry and harrowing meltdowns on screen.
Last year's Oscar-nominated Rachel Getting Married and Wes Anderson's cineaste fave The Royal Tenenbaums are two memorable examples of damaged characters locked in emotional turf wars with blood relations.
Transsexual filmmaker Kimberly Reed's maiden project Prodigal Sons covers similar territory with a crucial distinction — it's all too real.
