Daisy and Mona

About This Movie

Daisy and Mona brings a raw, gritty realism to the screen, showcasing the chaotic bond between a tough young mother and her estranged daughter. The film captures the essence of the X-generation with its vibrant yet dark undertones. Daisy, living impulsively and often destructively, reflects the struggles of a youth adrift in an unforgiving world. The atmosphere is heavy, but there's this underlying upbeat note that makes you root for both characters. The performances are quite striking, bringing depth to their fraught relationship. It's not just about the reunion; it's about navigating pain and searching for connection. The pacing leans heavily into that tension, giving you moments to breathe, and then hitting you with the emotional weight. A unique film in the French comedy-drama landscape for sure.
