CGiii Comment
Anthropological nonsense - a simplistic debate on the rich versus the non-rich issue.
Yelchin displays the exact qualities he displayed in Jack - that whole less-is-more thing can become a tiresome plod and dreary to watch after a time.
Going off in every tangent - makes this an unengaging slog.

The(ir) Blurb...
Trapped in his mother's Lower East Side apartment, sixteen-year-old Finn wants nothing more than to escape New York and spend the summer in South America studying the Iskanani Indians, or "Fierce People," with the anthropologist father he's never met. But Finn's dreams are shattered when he is arrested in a desperate effort to help his drug-dependent mother, Liz, who scrapes by working as a masseuse. Determined to get their lives back on track, Liz moves the two of them into a guest house on the vast country estate of her ex-client, the aging aristocratic billionaire, Ogden C. Osbourne. In Osbourne's close world of privilege and power, Finn and Liz encounter a tribe fiercer and more mysterious than anything they might find in the South American jungle: the super rich.
