Dinner, The

An offbeat, dark, unpredictable, star-dotted (Chloƫ Sevigny and Michael Chernus), 2-hour film based on a Herman Koch's bestselling 2009 novel and reminiscent of "The Carnage" in which a cynical, mentally unstable former high school history teacher (Steve Coogan) reluctantly goes to dinner with his wife (Laura Linney), his estranged U. S. Congressman brother (Richard Gere) who is running for governor, and his sister-in-law (Rebecca Hall) at a fancy restaurant to discuss a family crisis involving his angry teenage son (Charlie Plummer) and his two nephews (Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick and Miles J. Harvey) who set fire to a homeless woman (Onika Day) sleeping in an ATM booth.
