Diane<\/em><\/strong>
\nIFC Films
\nReviewed by Tami Smith, Film Reviewer for Shockya
\nGrade: B+
\nDirector: Kent Jones
\nScreenwriter: Kent Jones
\nCast: Mary Kay Place, Jake Lacy, Deirdre O\u2019Connell, Andrea Martin, Estelle Parsons
\nPhyllis Somerville, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Glynnis O\u2019Connor, Joyce Van Patten,
\nRelease Date: March 29, 2019<\/p>\n

The subject matter of Diane<\/em> is not exactly a cheerful one but an unfortunate fact of life: getting old, older and dying. In other words: the passage of time.<\/p>\n

Diane (Mary Kay Place) is a widow who keeps busy taking care of her drug-addicted son Brian (Jake Lacy) by day, while recording her sins in a notebook at night. She also visits with her cousin Donna (Deirdre O’Connell), a hospital patient in the final stages of cancer; She and her best friend Bobbie (Andrea Martin) live in a small community in rural Massachusetts where everybody attends church on Sunday, winter snows are endless, and the soup kitchen is filled with the needy.<\/p>\n

This theatrical film was written and directed in a skillful manner by Kent Jones, a documentarian. The main reason to see Diane<\/em> is a powerful performance by Mary Kay Place as the title character, supported d by Jake Lacy as her angry and addicted son Brian, before he \u201cfinds god\u201d, and the ever optimistic Andrea Martin as her best friend and companion till death comes.<\/p>\n

Diane<\/em> was photographed by Wyatt Garfield, in Kingston, Saugerties and Palenville, New York, showing endless snowy white and grey Massachusetts days turning into gray sunsets with a final shot of a red Cardinal symbolizing the hopeful coming of spring.<\/p>\n

96 minutes. NR \u00a9 Tami Smith, Film Reviewer<\/p>\n
