MONICA

Screening Thursday, June 8, 2023, 7:00 PM @ Cinestudio

The intimate portrait of a woman who returns home to care for her dying mother. A delicate and nuanced story of a fractured family, the story explores universal themes of abandonment, aging, acceptance, and redemption.

“Monica, on its surface, navigates the slow and awkward pain of reconnection with her family and ailing mother, and it bores into your heart with stunning intimacy in telling this story. While announcing the supreme talents of Lysette as its captivating star, Monica crafts a resolute portrait of hope in an increasingly bleak world. In that respect, it’s one of the most important films of the year.” – Coleman Spilde, The Daily Beast      Read the full article here
