This incredbible drama-documentary hybrid is definitely one of the more unique and gracefully made films of the year. Being rather reminsicent of the equally great masterpiece Four Daughters from Iran, this is ever as incredible and masterful.
Marion Cotillard gives the performance of her career, as one would expect of course, and it is very much one of her more emotional and powerful performances. The script is wonderful, very real and utilizing the mix of genres splendidly.
The cinematography, cutting and editing is exceptional, again delving into a nice middle ground between reality and fiction. Also intersting for fans of the subject and actress.
Overall, a very intersting and well put together feature that is highly recommended for any lover of film indeed!

- Why reproduce it then?
Sadly, Mona Ashan lost her mom to her sudden and independent passing. Mona has found a hidden archive that provides clues not only to the era, but also to the family tree.
The generational relationship, the "fathers and children" relationship is a timeless classic of creativity. When you are a child, you idolize your parents, because they are your world and you think there is no other world. When you're a teenager, you oppose your parents and try to find yourself. When you are an adult, communication is reorganized into partnership, mutual help and support. I would like to say that you become friends, but it is not quite correct, because there should be such a hierarchy between a child and a parent.
Nevertheless, throughout our lives, in our minds, parents are perfect and calm people who are simply not inherently flawed, faulty, and human. But this is only one side of the person you knew as your dad or mom.
In life there is a lot of pain, disappointment, offenses, but there are moments of happiness, fun, joy. After all, a person is a multifaceted personality, which in every situation, with different people can be in different guises. When your parents, friends or relatives suddenly leave, you are left alone with your own questions, which are probably not destined to be answered. What did you do wrong? How did the person feel? Is there any fault on my part? The big question is why wasn't I shared?
So different, voluminous and multifaceted was the personality of Carole Ashan. She had her weaknesses, mistakes and shortcomings, but she was Mona Ashan's mom.
The movie is a search for an answer to who Carole Ashan is and why her fate turned out this way. It seems to me that Ashan managed to find answers to her questions, to understand her mom, to cry and let go.
Amazing performance by Marion Cotillard, who admits that this is the most difficult role in her career, but she copes with it with incredible effort and dedication.
My recommendation to watch it! We all definitely need to talk. So much misery and unhappiness happens because we don't talk to each other because of fears, insecurities and just not wanting to appear weak, but talking is just vital.
