Lucia Berlin: My Jockey is a quietly powerful documentary that dips into the life and work of a writer who breathed life into the mundane. It weaves through her experiences, often reflecting on the grit and grace found in everyday settings like laundromats and diners. The pacing feels almost like reading her stories—sometimes meandering, but always poignant. There's an intimacy here, a sense of looking through her eyes, capturing the beauty in the overlooked. The film doesn't shy away from her struggles, either; it’s raw and honest. You get the feeling you’re not just watching a biography but experiencing the heart and soul of her writing. It’s the kind of film that lingers with you, making you think about those everyday moments we often take for granted.
