Another A24 gem from playwright Anne Baker. Filmed in a very distinctive and real life way,
I was always expecting something dramatic and sensational to happen. But like real life instead of like a movie, it moves along contemplatively and lovingly thru the silences and spaces in between the moments.
"Set in 1991 rural Western Massachusetts, the superb debut film from Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Annie Baker is a work of surreal tranquility that moves at a different, lost pace of life, and which perceives heartbreak just as Lacy is beginning to grasp the world and her place in it. Baker has created a film about a mother and daughter quite unlike any other, heightening the viewer’s senses and expressing oceans of feeling with the smallest gestures.:---
