Mom and Me really digs into the messiness of family and the weight of legacy. There's this raw, almost painful honesty throughout Lena MacDonald's journey—her relationship with her mother, a once-promising filmmaker turned homeless and struggling with addiction, is a core focus. The pacing feels deliberate, giving you time to sit with the complexities of their bond. You get a mix of archival footage and intimate moments that make you feel like you're almost eavesdropping. The atmosphere is heavy but also oddly hopeful. The performances, particularly Lena's candid reflections, are striking and really pull you in. It’s a distinctive take on motherhood and the impact of addiction, without being overly sentimental.
