See You in Valhalla is a 2015 comedy-drama film directed by Jarret Tarnol and starring Sarah Hyland, Bret Harrison, and Steve Howey. The movie tells the story of Joanna Skyes (Hyland), a young woman who loses her brother (Harrison) in a tragic accident and is forced to confront her estranged family and her past. The movie opens with Joanna's narration, explaining how her family members left their hometown and moved to different parts of the country, leaving her behind. She says that she hasn't spoken to them in years, but now she's being forced to confront them because of her brother's death. The narration is accompanied by a montage of Joanna's childhood memories, which set the tone for the rest of the movie.

The next scene shows Joanna driving back to her hometown, a small Midwestern town in the United States. She's greeted by her brother's ex-girlfriend, Odin (played by Emma Bell), who's surprised to see her. It soon becomes clear that Joanna's family doesn't know she's coming, and they're not happy to see her. However, Joanna is determined to make amends with her family and attend her brother's funeral.

As the family gathers to prepare for the funeral, tensions run high. Joanna's mother (played by Connie Britton) is cold and distant, still angry over Joanna's past mistakes. Her father (played by Michael Weston) is distant and uninterested. Her sister (played by Odeya Rush) is angry and resentful, blaming Joanna for abandoning the family. Her brother's best friend (played by Howey) is also there, adding an additional layer of tension to the already strained family dynamic.

Despite the tension, Joanna tries to reconnect with her family. She meets her sister's boyfriend (played by Jake McDorman) and tries to bond with him. She has a heart-to-heart conversation with her mother, trying to understand her perspective. With her brother's best friend, she reminisces about her brother and tries to find some closure.

As the family prepares for the funeral, it becomes clear that there are secrets lurking beneath the surface. Joanna discovers that her brother was dealing with addiction and was struggling to keep it under control. She also finds out that Odin is pregnant with her brother's child.

The funeral itself is emotional and cathartic. Joanna gives a touching eulogy, and the family comes together to say goodbye to their loved one. After the funeral, Joanna and her family attend a makeshift wake, where they finally confront their issues and express their emotions.

See You in Valhalla is a heartfelt and emotional movie that delves into the complexities of family relationships. It's a poignant exploration of grief and loss, and how those emotions can bring people closer together or drive them apart. The movie is filled with great performances, especially from Hyland, who gives a nuanced and nuanced performance as Joanna.

Overall, See You in Valhalla is a moving and entertaining movie that's well worth watching. It's a testament to the power of family and the importance of confronting our emotions head-on. It's a movie that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
