A lesson in parenting

About This Movie

A Lesson in Parenting, released in 2020, is quite the oddball piece. You have Bibi, always clad in band-aids, and Begbo, whose ill-fitting clothes and tendency to throw up when stressed add a distinctive layer to their relationship. It's shot in this raw, almost docu-style that keeps you on your toes. The pacing feels organic, like you're eavesdropping on their bizarre yet somehow grounded daily life. Themes of resilience and unconventional love weave through the narrative, making you question what parenting really means. The performances are real and messy—definitely not polished, but that's part of the charm. The practical effects, or lack thereof, make it feel all the more authentic, immersing you in their peculiar world.
