Synopsis

After 12 years of absence, a writer goes back to his hometown, planning on announcing his upcoming death to his family. As resentment soon rewrites the course of the afternoon, fits and feuds unfold, fuelled by loneliness and doubt, while all attempts of empathy are sabotaged by people’s incapacity to listen and love.

Thoughts

Mommy is one of my favourite films of all time. So I really, really wanted to like this film.

And, in a way, I do. But it’s a hard slog at times, despite the superb cast, acting and premise.
