KRISHA (2015) Stream on Netflix. If you made it through Thanksgiving with your sanity just barely intact, take comfort in knowing that the holiday can be a stressful time for many. The “Waves” director Trey Edward Shults tapped members of his own family to explore how taxing it can be, specifically for people with mental health and addiction issues, for his feature debut, “Krisha.” His aunt, Krisha Fairchild, plays the title character, a 60-something woman who has been estranged from her family for years because of unspoken transgressions. She re-emerges on Thanksgiving with an offer to cook the turkey and the promise that her life is back on track. As she prepares, tensions begin to simmer — thanks in part to the film’s sound design and camerawork — until the gathering boils over into catastrophe. “Few movies bore into a character’s head as deeply as ‘Krisha,’ and with such uncompromising ferocity,” Manohla Dargis wrote in her review, in which she designated this film a New York Times Critic’s Pick.
