A controversial White House policy turns family member
against family member in THE OATH, a savagely funny dark comedy about
surviving life and Thanksgiving in the age of political tribalism. When
Chris (Ike Barinholtz), a high-strung 24-hour progressive news junkie,
and his more levelheaded wife Kai (Tiffany Haddish) learn that citizens
are being asked to sign a loyalty oath to the President, their reaction
is disbelief, followed by idealistic refusal. But as the Thanksgiving
deadline to sign approaches, the combination of sparring relatives,
Chris's own agitation and the unexpected arrival of two government
agents (John Cho and Billy Magnussen) sends an already tense holiday
dinner gathering completely off the rails. As timely as it is
outrageous, THE OATH is a gleefully wicked reinvention of the
traditional holiday comedy for our divisive political times.
