My Mother

About This Movie

My Mother is a deeply personal documentary that feels less like a typical film and more like an intimate therapy session. Beatrice, the filmmaker, tackles her traumatic past head-on, using dual cameras to capture the raw, often painful dialogue between her and her mother. The atmosphere is heavy, charged with unspoken emotions and the weight of years. It’s paced slowly, allowing the viewer to really sit with their conversation, which feels both revealing and unsettling at times. What stands out is the authenticity in their performances, a realness that pulls you into their world. Themes of memory, trauma, and reconciliation are at play, making it a distinctive piece that doesn’t shy away from difficult subjects.
