Uncle Frank
Movie • 2020 • Drama
ReportFrank is a gay famous New York University professor in 1973 who left his small South Carolina town behind him and remained in little contact with his family, especially given his style of life and his relationship with his ten-year partner, the free spirit Wally. No one really knows about Frank’s life, except his newly-arrived teenage niece, Beth, who promises to keep his relationship with the family secret. But when, Mac, the overbearing patriarch of his family dies, Frank is forced to go home for the funeral, where old traumas arise and he has to face his family again. In part road movie, partly a story of maturity, this film still to be named is a funny but deeply moving story about family, forgiveness and our intrinsic power to choose who we want to be.

Two children are repeatedly screamed at for being "rambunctious and disruptive" aka simply being kids. The same character who shows this type of abuse threatens to "whup" the kids with his handsaw. No actual physical abuse is shown or implied other than this. This takes place within the first few minutes of the movie.

A main character hits another main character (his significant brother) in a fit of rage and intoxication. Just before this the two are yelling quite a lot at each other while the third main character watches, appearing to be in distress and shock at the altercation.

A main character shows clear signs of alcoholism, and is very frequently drinking from mini-bar bottles and he is drunk quite a bit within the movie.

A character has a spider in her hair but only other people know about it and they do not tell her. The camera shows the spider pretty close up once.

A gay teenage boy is found dead in a lake from killing himself. His body is seen floating a couple different times (in flashbacks) and when the scene is first introduced, the main character swims after the body. [SPOILER] A main character is presumed to have killed himself, however it was a misunderstanding.

Someone mentions if they ever get pregnant to call them first, implying they’d be the one to help them make a decision.

There's a lot. q-slur, f-slur, referring to gay men as perverts and sinners. Religion is often used to counter the existence of homosexuals. There is a racist comment directed at someone's significant other saying "at least you aren't black." Someone who claimed to be a Jew jokingly called themself a "dirty Jew." The character Daddy Mac is very openly homophobic and hateful towards other characters.
