About My Mom and Me

2024 · 1h 44m · Drama, Comedy

Watch it tonight if you're in the mood for something intimate and introspective—the 1970s USSR setting and dual coming-of-age/midlife crisis premise has real emotional depth, and the focus on a mother-daughter relationship told with warmth and melancholy is exactly the kind of character-driven drama that lingers. Skip it if you need plot momentum or broad laughs, but if you want quiet, thoughtful cinema that trusts its audience, this is worth your time.

Plot

USSR, 1970s. Lena has a real talent for writing - her school essays reflect with incredible precision and warmth not only the world around her and her loved ones, but also her personal experiences, dreams, and hopes. Her mother works in documentary film, and she has her own problems and dreams. It so happened that the daughter's adolescence coincides with her mother's midlife crisis. The story of their touching relationship is told with a kind smile and notes of sadness.
