Momma's Man ***
Azazel Jacobs, 2008
US
@ Uptown Cinema
A slow, intermittently depressing meditation on something like a pre-mid-life crisis. It is essentially cinema of duration, in that most of the payoff, both depressing and redemptive, comes from just sitting with the main character and his parents as he awkwardly finds his own way through whatever emotional problems he's facing. I'm guessing whoever brought a whole crowd of high school kids had some other sort of idea about the film beforehand.
