Yes Mum

About This Movie

Yes Mum is a charmingly oddball animation that flirts with the absurd. The story follows Robert, a young French man entrapped by his infatuation and a suffocating maternal presence. There's a distinct playfulness to the animation style, conveying both whimsy and tension as Robert navigates his desires. The pacing is a bit whimsical too, with surreal sequences punctuating the mundane, creating a disarming juxtaposition. It dives into themes of repression and longing, almost like a peculiar love letter to unfulfilled dreams. The voice performances carry a certain warmth, wrapping the viewer in a slightly uncomfortable yet captivating atmosphere. It’s the kind of film that lingers in the back of your mind for its unique take on love and control and the animation lends it a surreal edge that sets it apart.
