THE HUMANS

Superficial social satire.

What worked for more than 600 live performances on Broadway hardly translates to its filmic adaptation. 

Playwright/screenwriter/director Stephen Karam's theatrical source material — of six family members' personal crises exposed over the course of a Thanksgiving gathering in Manhattan's Chinatown — flails and burps with toothless ennui.

Nuanced ensemble performances are frequently hidden from view due to incompetent camera direction.

Oh the misery. Oh the inert drama.

Keep the tour moving; there's nothing to see here.

Groupthink doesn't live here, critical thought does.
