everyday lives", and "These days, a movie so invested in the highs and lows of caring for others can only be a remarkable, cherished thing." Andrew Schenker of Village Voice said of In the Family that "With an incisive understanding of character, believably naturalistic acting, and lengthy scenes that don't feel stretched out so much as given room to breathe, In the Family proves that smart direction and an innate feeling for one's material trumps potentially precious subject matter." Accolades The film was nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature in 2012. Sebastian Banes won the Young Artist Award for Best Supporting Young Actor Age Ten and Under. The film also received "Best Feature" awards at the San Diego Asian Film Festival, the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival, and the Spokane International Film Festival, with Wang receiving "Best Emerging Filmmaker" awards at all three festivals, as well.
