Politically charged Thanksgiving dinner comedy written, directed by and starring Ike Barinholtz (Bad Neighbours). Co-stars Girls Trip's Tiffany Haddish.

"Nothing spoils a family gathering quite like politics, and no movie has captured the way such debates can turn ugly quite like Ike Barinholtz's "The Oath"..."

Variety
Variety"Mr. Barinholtz has enough cachet to assemble an excellent cast, although he's not as canny about using it."

The New York Times
The New York Times"The movie's dystopia-meets-family-dinner mix feels like it's building to something bigger than the sum of its rants ... and then it doesn't."

Rolling Stone
Rolling Stone"Wants to have its pie and eat it too - lobbing political hand grenades and then running away, refusing to engage in the consequences the scenarios set up."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"The film is often hard to take, offering laughs that are rarely cathartic enough to compensate."
