James White is a troubled twenty something trying to stay afloat in a frenzied New York City. As he retreats further into a hedonistic lifestyle, his mother’s battle with a serious illness faces a series of setbacks that force him to assume more responsibility.
In one of the most impressive of recent NYC indies—and a debut, no less—Josh Mond delicately constructs a low-key, character-driven drama exploring the bond between a mother & son, the former’s illness and the latter’s self-destruction. A hard-hitting, moving, and superbly acted first feature.
