Overview
Diane is a devoted friend and caretaker, particularly to her drug-addicted son. But as those around her begin to drift away in the last quarter of her life, she is left to reckon with past choices and long-dormant memories.
In a way this film reminded me of The Station Agent in that if someone liked that film that says a lot about their tastes. This film was a drama for adults and a wonderful character study. It isn’t necessarily eventful but there is so much to take in if you’re willing to work for it. I particularly liked how honest the characters were with each other. There really weren’t any heroes or villains as each character played both at different times in the film. Wonderful work here.
