… and it kinda sucks? Dgmw there are things I liked about it (Ellen Burstyn and Jennifer Connelly give great performances) , but between the gimmicky edits and the palpable lack of insight into drug use/abuse/addiction, it just comes across as a less entertaining Reefer Madness. Imho.
I thought the character of the mother was pretty good, her addiction to television and the use pharmaceuticals to cope with her life. Also fwiw, just saw some headlines about Jared Leto sexual misconduct allegations.
Honestly wish it was just a movie focused entirely on her. It’s horrifying what the elderly can experience when they’re on their own. Gene Hackman’s recent death comes to mind. Guy was a famous celebrity and he and his wife had been dead for days before anyone found them.
The mother character has really stuck with me. By far the best part of the movie.
