Synopsis – What to Expect from “What They Had”
What They Had is a 2018 American drama film directed by Elizabeth Chomko and starring Hilary Swank, Michael Shannon, Robert Forster, Blythe Danner, and Taissa Farmiga.
The film follows a family in crisis as they grapple with the decision to put their elderly mother (Blythe Danner) in a nursing home. Bridget (Hilary Swank) is a Chicago-based woman who is forced to return home to her family in Illinois after her mother, Ruth, begins exhibiting signs of dementia. Bridget’s brother, Nick (Michael Shannon), is a drifter who is struggling to make ends meet. He is also dealing with his own issues with alcohol and is unable to provide support to his family.
Upon returning home, Bridget and Nick are forced to confront their past and their strained relationship. They are also forced to confront their father, Burt (Robert Forster), who is in denial about Ruth’s condition and is determined to keep her at home. Bridget and Nick must find a way to come together and make a decision that is best for their mother before it is too late.
The film is a touching story about family, love, and loss. It explores the difficult decisions that must be made when dealing with a loved one’s decline into dementia. It also looks at the power of family bonds and how they can help us through the most difficult of times.
