About This Movie
That Hopey Changey Thing, a 2020 drama, throws you right into the heart of an Election Day gathering in Rhinebeck. It's a quiet film, really, but loaded with those complex family dynamics. Uncle Benjamin's loss of his dog kind of sets the tone—a mix of nostalgia and sorrow. The Apple family's dinner chatter weaves through memory and politics, capturing that awkwardness we all know too well. The pacing is deliberate, allowing every moment to breathe, which can feel a bit slow if you’re used to more action-driven narratives. Performances are solid, especially in how they navigate those conversations that dance around deeper truths. Distinctive for its intimate setting and focus on dialogue, it feels like a slice of life that resonates more in hindsight.
