Care

About This Movie

Care (2018) is one of those intense dramas that really digs into the complexities of familial bonds. You’ve got this single mom, Jenny, who’s trying to keep everything together after her husband walks out, and then her frail mother, Mary, has a stroke. The atmosphere is heavy, filled with that kind of raw emotion that makes you sit with the characters' pain. The pacing is deliberate, which gives you a chance to absorb the weight of each moment. I found the performances to be quite moving, especially the dynamic between Jenny and Mary. It’s not flashy in its effects—just real-life struggles portrayed with honesty. Definitely a film that resonates on many levels, especially for anyone who’s faced care-giving challenges.
