So, 'East by Southwest' is this quirky gem from '87 that kind of blends a travelogue with personal introspection. You’ve got a filmmaker on a sort of pilgrimage, starting in Boston and ending up in the Bronx at his mom’s place. The tone is pretty casual, almost like a home video, which gives it this raw feel. The conversations, especially with his mother, are candid and real, navigating some deep family dynamics and creative struggles. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, as it shifts from the filmmaker's encounters to these intimate family moments, but hey, that’s part of its charm. It's a unique snapshot of 80s indie filmmaking and family life—definitely one of those films that lingers in your mind.
