Diane

“The past hangs over Diane not just as burden or nostalgia (though it can be that, too) but as an enthralling and entangling reminder of life's mystery.” Owen Gleiberman, Variety. A woman (Mary Kay Place) fills her days helping others and desperately attempting to bond with her drug-addicted son. But as those around her begin to drift away in the last quarter of her life, she is left to reckon with past choices and long-dormant memories.

R; 96 minutes
