    ★★★★★

    There are some movies that are just so good that it makes me jealous of the minds responsible for bringing them to life. The script was brilliant, inventive and off-the-wall absurd, and I can't imagine how fun it must have been to work on it. This movie truly felt like a new thing, and I can't think of a weakness. The performances, the visual style, the storytelling, everything about it was first-class.

Here, her kids are free to be themselves and find their own paths in life. The mother struggles to let go, even though this is exactly what she wanted for them.
