This is a nice little film that more than likely caps a trilogy of collaboration between Coppola and Murray. The characters are far more relatable in this Coppola film despite their elite New York status. This film is about family and connection and communication. It's also a live letter to NYC in the same vein as Woody Allen in the 70s. This film requires a thoughtful viewer who can appreciate that real life drama may not always contain explosions and gameshow hosts. While In the Rocks is by no means perfect, the characters reveal imperfections on every level and so I can't expect the impossible from the art which contains these ideas.
