Very mediocre documentary about the story of the filmmaker who presents a portrait of her demented mother. Moderate in that sense because I found the approach quite annoying. Dialogues always take place off-screen and the mother herself was always portrayed with photos pasted together. Archive images here and there. No, I just thought it was a mess.

So I didn't really care much about the content. Little experience, little interest despite the fascinating subject. Then it becomes difficult to deliver an excellent doxu.

If you want to see an excellent documentary on a similar subject and similar approach, I refer you to Me and My Parents, My Parents and Me (Film, 2004) . Much better.
