Flore

About This Movie

Flore is a deeply affecting documentary that explores the harrowing journey of a family confronting Alzheimer’s. It’s marked by its raw emotional honesty, as Jean-Albert Lièvre uses personal footage to peel back layers of his mother's decline. You really feel the weight of the disease in the pacing—slow, almost suffocating at times, reflecting the gradual loss of self. The film’s atmosphere is heavy yet intimate, with moments of lightness peeking through the shadows of despair. The practical effects are, well, the realities of aging and memory loss—no gimmicks here. What stands out is Lièvre’s candid portrayal, blending the personal with the universal. It’s a tough watch, sure, but it’s also a poignant meditation on love and loss.
