Sinekatalog’s take
A gentle, perceptive short in which children play at being their parents, and a boy learns something new about his divorced mother by acting her role. Small in scale but emotionally smart, it is a pleasure for fans of observational family cinema.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
