Director: H. Nelson Tracey
Meeting the family is supposed to be the easy part — Breakup Season, a 2024 comedy-drama-romance from director H. Nelson Tracey, proves otherwise.
What is Breakup Season about?
A young man decides it's finally time to bring his girlfriend home to rural Oregon so she can meet his family, and the trip barely survives its first few hours. What was meant to be a simple weekend of introductions quickly spirals as old family tensions resurface, awkward histories get dredged up, and the couple's relationship is put under a spotlight neither of them asked for. As the visit stretches on, the film balances comedy and discomfort in equal measure, tracking how a single homecoming can unravel — and occasionally clarify — everything two people thought they knew about each other.
Cast & crew
Chandler Riggs and Samantha Isler lead the film as the couple at the center of the disastrous homecoming, supported by a sizable ensemble including James Urbaniak, Jacob Wysocki, Kailey Rhodes, Carly Stewart, Brook Hogan, and Stormie Camara as various members of the extended family, whose competing personalities fuel much of the film's tension and humor.
Context & significance
Made in the United States and released in 2024, Breakup Season runs 102 minutes under director H. Nelson Tracey and fits into the familiar genre of family-gathering comedies, where a single visit forces long-avoided conversations. The rural Oregon setting gives the story a specific, grounded backdrop rather than a generic small-town stand-in, and the film leans on ensemble chemistry more than plot mechanics to carry its runtime.
