Lara
DramaComedyMusic
Today is Lara’s 60th birthday, which happens to fall on the same day as her pianist son’s career-defining concert. A failed pianist herself, Lara spends the time before his performance pacing about Berlin—boiling with jealousy, nerves, and pride—trying to get hold of her elusive son.
VIBE
This film feels like a pressure cooker. It’s a deeply uncomfortable, yet compelling, look at a mother’s obsessive control and the unraveling of her carefully constructed world. Expect simmering tension and a palpable sense of dread.
