| With THE FITZGERALD FAMILY CHRISTMAS, Edward Burns returns to the working-class, Irish-American roots of his debut feature THE BROTHERS MCMCMULLEN. Reuniting with McMullen co-stars Connie Britton (Nashville) and Mike McGlone, along with Noah Emmerich (LITTLE CHILDREN) and Kerry Bishé (ARGO), Burns seamlessly weaves an ensemble story of adult siblings dealing their estranged father’s return home for Christmas for the first time since he walked out 20 years ago. Family rifts emerge, and like with any family, Christmas brings a mixed bag of complicated emotions and dynamics. Alliances form, old wounds are reopened or glossed over, and the possibility for a new hope and forgiveness emerges. |
