List: Top 3 Movies About Finding Family

This week on Episode 491 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by our review of Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, we discuss our favorite movies about finding family. Okay, so this is a pretty broad topic and it could go any number of ways depending on your criteria. However, we mostly settled on the idea of discvery and reconnection. Certainly there’s an element of literally finding family that many films do examine, but sometimes “finding” family is closer to home and discovering something new that completely changes your perspective on the world. For our lists, and much of the conversation, we equally considered the films that have done that remarkably. Either way, there’s a ton to mine out of this subject and it made for a fun, albeit challenging, exercise. That said, here are our lists:
