Film Review – Mia Madre

Director of “The Son’s Room” and “We Have a Pope,” Nanni Moretti returns with a deeply personal picture in “Mia Madre,” which inspects the psychological exhaustion the pressures and confusion of everyday life delivers, periodically in overwhelming amounts. Collecting anxieties from his own life, Moretti funnels overwhelming feeling into his latest work, giving the feature outstanding emotional texture as it juggles subplots and character temperaments. “Mia Madre” is heartbreaking at times, but it also represents the human experience almost perfectly, understanding the minor scrapes incurred as troubles are worked through, mixed elegantly with mild humor and unusual meditations. It’s an exceptional movie, which isn’t a rare achievement for the helmer, but this material is clearly pulled from deep within, making it his finest effort to date. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
