The Oath

A controversial White House policy turns family member against family memeber in 'The Oath', a dark comedy about surviving life and Thanksgiving in the age of political tribalism. When Chris, a high-strung 24-hour progressive news junkie, and his more levelheaded wife Kai 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 sends an already tense holiday dinner gathering completely off the rails.

The movie is the debut as director of the actor Ike Barinholtz ('Suicide Squad'), who's also the screenwriter and the main character. The cast is completed by Tiffany Haddish ('Girls Trip'), Meredith Hagner ('Set It Up'), Carrie Brownstein ('Portlandia'), Jay Duplass ('Transparent'), Billy Magnussen ('Into the Woods') and John Cho ('Star Trek') among others.
