Trailer Watch: June Squibb Brings Her Fractured Family Together in Stephanie Laing’s “Family Squares”

"Family Squares"

“Welcome to my death,” announces June Squibb in a new trailer for “Family Squares.” From writer-director Stephanie Laing and inspired by her experience of not being able to be with her mother as she passed, the ensemble comedy sees the Worth family coming together virtually following the death of its matriarch, Grandma Mabel (Squibb).”You’ve all been acting like jackasses and keeping so many secrets,” Mabel says in a video recorded while she was alive.

The Worths reunite via Zoom, where long-simmering tensions come to a head. “The drama of this family!” Judy Greer’s character exclaims. There’s talk of embezzlement, and Mabel hints that one of the siblings may be adopted. Margo Martindale’s character seems to be searching for forgiveness. “Small mistakes can be fixed,” she says, but some are “are so big that they change everything, they change you.”

Laing made her feature debut with “Irreplaceable You,” a 2018 romance led by Gugu Mbatha-Raw. Her TV directing credits include “Physical,” “Made for Love,” and “Veep.”

“Family Squares” hits theaters and on demand February 25.
