Good photography (by others) and music (by Mary Lattimore) but this falls straight into the personal\/parents doc template with the usual outcomes. Mom died before Rachel was two, R doesn’t remember her, so she goes on a journey to find footage and associates. Goes where mom went, meets who she knew, makes mom’s ex-boyfriend cry while Rachel is breaking up with her own husband. I don’t feel like they came up with compelling way to turn their audiotape archives into cinema – re-enactments with faces hidden, video of tape machines, the old kachunk-slideshow from Sr<\/em>. She performs as her mom, edits herself into film of her mom, interviews other girls who didn’t have moms, generally makes everything about herself and her loss. The stuff about the nature of photography and memory was more interesting than the parental pinings. Her dad seems cool anyway. Some good voices in this, but not the director’s, which is who we’re mostly hearing. When looking for trailers I found one from a decade ago – this was shot and kickstartered back then, and it took this long to finish. Somewhere in the long process it picked up producers who worked on Joonam<\/em>, Hottest August<\/a><\/em>, Aquarela<\/a><\/em>, Her Smell<\/a><\/em>, and Cameraperson<\/a><\/em>, and the editors of Crip Camp<\/em> and The Devil and Daniel Johnston<\/a><\/em>. Horns and drums by Gora Gora Orkestar made the trip to the Jesse worthwhile.<\/p>\n
