So, 'David's Mother' is this pretty raw drama that really dives into the complexities of a single mother raising her autistic son. The atmosphere is heavy, filled with tension between Sally and the social worker, who feels it’s her duty to intervene. The pacing is deliberate, allowing us to really sit with Sally's struggles and her fierce love for David. It makes you think about the system and how it often fails those it intends to protect. The performances are quite strong; you can feel the weight of their choices. It’s really interesting how it portrays the conflict between personal instinct and institutional pressure, making it a noteworthy watch for anyone into character-driven stories.
Unique portrayal of autism in the early 90s.Strong character dynamics, especially between mother and social worker.Interesting look at societal views on disability.
