Ah, families: can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em. Schechter nails the impatient, beleaguered dynamic that can occur among disparate family members who love and need one another more than they may admit. The movie also deftly, evenhandedly captures the perils of political correctness as Josh’s lecture-hall misstep puts him on the firing line with students and administrators. A late-breaking showdown pitting Josh, Jackie and David against Jeff and his awful second wife is a beaut. “After Class” Not ratedRunning time: 1 hour, 33 minutesPlaying: Lumiere Music Hall, Beverly Hills; Arena Cinelounge Sunset, Hollywood; also on VOD
