This film is very relatable and recommended. Its a complex study of the relationships between parent and child both in the past and present and how the process of aging including dementia humbles everyone. Realistic, gritty, hard to watch at times.
But it is also beautiful, heart felt and personal in its approach to life and the compromises and acceptance that come with it. Mortensen does a wonderful job of switching from past to present scenes and then back again.
Not everything is completely explained you get glimpses of why things have gone the way they have.
Memories can be like that and we never really know all the forces and incidents that shape another's personality.
I liked this film a lot. It is memorable and well done.
