Movie review
From Time Out New York
Two things save writer-director Mary Haverstick’s lackadaisical labor of love from being Lifetime fare: the thoughtful performances of Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden and her real-life daughter, Eulala Scheel, as—what else?—a dysfunctional mother and child. In late-’60s Pennsylvania, poet and breast-cancer survivor Inga (Harden) kills life’s pain with alcohol as Indigo (Scheel) looks on worriedly. Her childhood house razed to put in a parking lot, Inga fixates on buying a neighbor’s place. Filled with sun-soaked tableaux and lyrical meditations on life, death and family, the film overflows with fierce but all-too-familiar feeling.Author: Raven Snook
