About This Movie

So, 'Nicole Nicole' is this intense little documentary that dives deep into the lives of Nicole and her mother Alberte, both living in this picturesque villa by Lake Geneva. The film captures this raw, almost claustrophobic sense of codependency that permeates their daily routines. You really feel the weight of their fears and struggles, as Nicole grapples with her autonomy while Alberte's dread of being alone looms large. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to absorb the tension, and the performances are strikingly authentic, especially the dynamic between the two women. The filmmaker niece, Lauren, adds another layer to the narrative, making it feel even more personal and layered. There's an emotional honesty here that's quite haunting.

This film seems to be a bit of an under-the-radar gem. There's been limited distribution so far, which might make it harder to find depending on where you’re located. Collectors are starting to take notice, especially since its release on a few niche labels. It could be interesting to see how its value develops as more people uncover its layers.
