Barbara R Relative Control was a delightful , touching movie. The movie accurately depicted the sometimes very difficult balance of caring for elderly parents and one’s personal life and job. The acting was excellent . The film is well worth watching. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/25/25 Full Review Cordelia W A very heartfelt film that many can relate to. Patrick McDade's character brings needed comic relief to balance the film's somber content. (He is a hoot!) Ryan Saviano's character adds an extra layer to the story that furthers the idea of the "sandwich generation". His scenes with Teri Polo are very moving, and both actors give an excellent performance. Great cast all around! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review gary b The movie is truly excellent! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Miguel L One of the most heartfelt, original movies I’ve seen in years. Superbly personal story telling with terrific acting make it a joy from start to finish. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Carol F Heartfelt film with both happy and sad moments. Portrays the struggles of a high-powered attorney who raised a son as a single parent with help from her parents now trying to manage the challenges of those aging parents by herself. She grows by learning that getting help from others is a strength rather than a weakness. As a 74 year old, it reminded me to be mindful of demands on my daughter as I age. Highly recommend and I think it's relatable to a wide audience. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/17/25 Full Review Patricia J Very entertaining! Anyone with an aging loved one will appreciate this movie! It’s a real life drama with humor! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/17/25 Full Review Read all reviews
