The 17-minute film opens with Joan watching, in discontent, her daughter’s televised acceptance speech. Following Julianne’s win, she returns to her hometown to celebrate her success with her mother – but their conversations run intolerably cold. In spite of the disheartening subject matter, the film doesn’t shy away from unveiling a brief endearing moment.
Lucas Cavanagh and Ben Brown have crafted a respectable drama that accentuates the begrudging behavior of some mothers in response to their daughter’s prosperity – an unvoiced topic that warrants exploration. Paulson and Rossi deliver captivating portrayals that guarantee audience engagement. Technically, the short is flawlessly assembled with stellar cinematography (Dylan Clark), sound and post-production. A touching, albeit somber tale that will resonate with many. Highly recommended.
