I Miss My Mom & Dream of Our New Home

About This Movie

I Miss My Mom & Dream of Our New Home is a poignant exploration of childhood and loss. The film, directed by Art Parnitudom, immerses you in Matoom's world, a young boy grappling with the transient nature of his family life. It has this haunting yet warm atmosphere, capturing the essence of memory with an almost dreamlike quality. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to sit with Matoom's reflections. Inspired by 'Bright', the first Thai novel by a female writer to be translated into English, it feels both personal and universal. The performances, especially from the child actor, bring raw vulnerability, making the themes of longing and nostalgia resonate deeply. Those practical effects used for certain memory sequences are quite clever too, enhancing the storytelling.
