This sharp look at the suburban lifestyle and aesthetic is both satirical and surprising. Detached Dad commutes hours a day to a high powered city job. Obsessed Mom fanatically manages the comings and goings of her scheduled adolescents. Their sprawling McMansion in the suburbs makes for a lovely, albeit isolating, home, but the surrounding half-built houses and roads create a surreal playground for the kids. In dynamic interviews that defy convention, experts provide just enough history and context for the North American preoccupation with ever bigger houses and ever more developments. At the heart of the film, an endearing family lends an ironic point of entry to a captivating documentary that makes form as relevant as content and takes documentary in audacious new directions.  SW
