Smart People: Emotionally Unintelligent
Smart People has a lot of good stuff going for it: a great cast (including Ellen Page in the follow-up to her star-making Juno role), sharp and funny dialogue, and a studied look at familial dysfunction.

He is father to high school senior Vanessa (Page) and Carnegie Melon student/talented poet James.
Sundance Spotlight: Ellen Page, SJP in Smart People
I have been sulking ever since I couldn't into the premiere of Smart People at Sundance. The cast is fantastic and the buzz surrounding it has been good.
