With Mom
2013 · 1h 20m · Drama
This is a heavy, art-house drama about grief and family collapse that swings for the fences thematically but lands just short—a 6.0 IMDb suggests it's more interesting in concept than execution. Skip it unless you're specifically craving intimate European indie cinema and have the emotional bandwidth for a slow burn about dying parents.
Plot
While her middle class, socialist family is falling apart around her, Berina, a young artist, tries to cope both with her awakening sexuality and her mother Jasna's imminent death. Her father cannot accept the fact that life is already happening without his wife. Her younger sister Luna cannot or does not want to grow up. For everybody's sake, Berina wants to save her mother's life and her family the only way she can - through art, and through magic.
