Diane (USA, drama, 95 min., unrated) Diane (Mary Kay Place) spends her days checking in on sick friends, volunteering at her local soup kitchen, and trying to save her troubled, drug-addicted adult son (Jake Lacy) from himself. But beneath her relentless routine of self-sacrifice, she’s fighting a desperate internal battle, haunted by a past she can’t forget. “The remarkable new film from the writer and director Kent Jones is in part a meditation on dying that feels wondrously alive… Each scene has its own specific energy and tone, conjured by a happy congruence of skillfully vivid acting, naturalistic conversations and a cinematographer, Wyatt Garfield, with a clear grasp of mood.” – New York Times
