That synopssis is misleading. The parents are unimportant.
There are 3 sisters, representing, I suppose, different responses to the world. One is a failure (let's not put that in inverted commas), one is a conventional success, and one is a fashionable novelist. And they have their partners/contacts among men.
Phillip Seymore Hoffman is the bloke to watch. His greatest role. It is essentially a black comedy about alienation. It is much weirder and (if you like) more warped than that synopsis suggests.
There's so little in English language films I can bear watching. I might buy "Cries and Whispers" from Amazon.
