Mother and Son

About This Movie

So, 'Mother and Son' from 2022 takes you on this really personal journey, right? It’s set against the backdrop of the late 80s, which adds a certain nostalgia, you know? The film paints a picture of Rose, who relocates from the Ivory Coast to the Paris suburbs with her two boys, and it unravels over two decades. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to really soak in the family dynamics. The performances are raw and authentic, drawing you in as you witness both the construction and deconstruction of their lives. It’s not flashy, but the emotional weight is palpable. The themes of identity and belonging are woven through, making it distinctive in its storytelling approach.
