Written and directed by Jim Jarmusch, this ensemble drama offers a triptych of stories that explores the intricate, often strained relationships within a single family across three different countries.

In the United States, adult siblings Jeff (Adam Driver) and Emily (Mayim Bialik) visit their reclusive, eccentric father (Tom Waits), only to discover he is hiding his true financial status. In France, a mother (Charlotte Rampling) navigates a complex dynamic with her grown daughters, Lilith (Vicky Krieps) and Timothea (Cate Blanchett). Finally, in Ireland, a sister (Indya Moore) and brother (Luka Sabbat) grapple with their own estrangement, illustrating the universal themes of neglect, love, and the quiet mysteries that bind families together.

Father Mother Sister Brother marks Jarmusch's first feature in several years and reunites him with frequent collaborators like Tom Waits and Adam Driver. Critics have praised the film's understated elegance and, much like the best of the American indie director's filmography, its ability to find profound meaning in the mundane.

In this chaotic mockumentary, Toronto musicians Matt Johnson and Jay McCarrol are still desperately trying to book a single gig at the Rivoli club—a quest that has eluded them for nearly twenty years. When a publicity stunt involving a skydive off the CN Tower goes hilariously wrong, the duo accidentally stumbles into a time-travel plot that sends them back to 2008. As they attempt to rewrite their own history and secure their legendary status, they must navigate the perils of paradoxes and their own deteriorating friendship in a world that wasn't ready for their brand of musical anarchy.

Directed by Matt Johnson, the film serves as a feature-length expansion of the cult-favourite television series. It gained significant acclaim following its premiere at the 2025 South by Southwest Festival, where it won the Midnight Madness People's Choice Award. Notable for its "guerilla-style" filmmaking, the production often involved unsuspecting members of the public, blending scripted comedy with unpredictable, real-world reactions to create a truly unique cinematic experience that has to be seen to be believed.
