Carol & Joy

About This Movie

So, 'Carol & Joy' is this intimate documentary that feels like a warm hug. You’ve got 98-year-old Joy Kane, who, let me tell you, brings such a vibrant energy with her piano playing and stories. It’s not just about her life as a music teacher and dancer; it’s this deep dive into mother-daughter dynamics across generations. The pacing is unhurried, almost like a conversation you’d have over a cup of tea, letting you soak in those moments. And the atmosphere? It’s rich with nostalgia and warmth, highlighting the artistic spirit that runs in their family. The simplicity of practical effects keeps it grounded — it’s all about the connection and those narratives. Really distinct in how it captures those fleeting memories and shared passions.
