Synopsis
The Humans (2021) is an American psychological drama you can watch online on iFILM. Writer-director Stephen Karam adapted his Tony Award-winning Broadway play for the screen, confining three generations of the Blake family to a cramped lower Manhattan apartment on Thanksgiving night.
Six people at the table: Erik, played by Richard Jenkins, his wife played by Jane Houdyshell, daughters played by Amy Schumer and Beanie Feldstein, the younger daughter's boyfriend played by Steven Yeun, and Grandma Momo played by June Squibb. The building creaks. Shadows move in odd ways. But the dread doesn't come from outside — it seeps up through decades of financial strain, unspoken disappointments and family roles nobody chose but everyone keeps playing.
Richard Jenkins gives the kind of performance that makes you forget you're watching acting. Shot almost entirely in one location, the film is deliberately uncomfortable to sit in — and that discomfort is entirely the point. Stream The Humans (2021) online on iFILM.
