The overwhelming feeling here is the pure pleasure of watching a seventysomething woman, who has felt invisible and discarded, be seen by so many...

Austin Chronicle

As director/son Regis chronicles his mother's story over a three-year period, we get to know her in singular detail, and what emerges is the exact opposite of what audiences may assume.

Rated: 3/5

Liquid Marmalade

on one level [it's] a love letter from a son to his mother who gave him opportunities she could never have. On the other, it is a meditation on ageism, visibility and how the most vulnerable are treated in American society.

Hollywood Report Card

Stark, at times, unflinching, with a strong undercurrent of family love. Equal parts beautiful and important.

Rated: 2.5/4

Duty Free doesn't state it outright, but it's a pleasure to see Sian-Pierre Regis's love for his mom translate into showing how people have value, regardless of age.

I loved this movie! Such a great reminder that life is to be enjoyed! As someone who retired early, this movie has prompted me to make my list of things I'd like to do and adventures I'd like to have within the next year.
