This Is Where I Leave You (2014)

The film features a significant posthumous revelation of the patriarch's gay identity and long-term same-sex relationship. This is handled with dignity and empathy, particularly through the mother's long-standing acceptance and the respectful portrayal of his partner, contributing to a net positive depiction of LGBTQ+ themes.

The film portrays the Jewish tradition of shiva as a meaningful framework for a dysfunctional family to grieve and reconnect. While individual characters express irreverence or a lack of personal faith, the narrative respects the cultural significance of the rituals and presents the family's rabbi as a supportive and understanding figure, highlighting the communal value of the faith.
