Mary Goes Round

About This Movie

Mary Goes Round is a quietly intense drama that digs into the messy realities of family and addiction. The film captures that raw and often uncomfortable atmosphere of returning home, layered with a palpable sense of regret and longing. Molly McGlynn's direction is unobtrusive yet effective, letting the performances breathe. That tension between Mary and her half-sister is something else—awkward yet sincere, they navigate that space of shared grief and uncharted territory. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments to linger, which seems to reflect Mary’s own internal journey. It's subtly heartbreaking and has this realness that makes you think about the complexities of familial ties. Definitely not your typical redemption story but rather a grounded exploration of rebuilding connections amidst chaos.
