Writer/director/actor Edward Burns hasn’t made a movie of note since 2012’s “The Fitzgerald Family Christmas,” where he dissected the ways of a dysfunctional family and their unhealthy relationships. Burns returns in “Millers in Marriage,” once again dissecting the ways of a dysfunctional family and their unhealthy relationships. The helmer has his thing, spending most of his career examining troubled characters and their partnerships, and he’s right back into it in his newest film, following a collection of aging people reunited with regret and possibility as they attempt to lead stable lives. “Millers in Marriage” is not a comedy, as Burns gets very somber in the endeavor. Its darkness is mostly an asset, and while the helmer doesn’t show the best judgment with some of his casting choices, he delivers a reasonably compelling overview of sadness in the picture.
