Diane

Directed by: Kent Jones

2019 | USA | 95 minutes

For Diane, everyone else comes first. Generous but with little patience for self-pity, she spends her days checking in on sick friends, volunteering at her local soup kitchen, and trying valiantly to save her troubled, drug-addicted adult son from himself. But beneath her relentless routine of self-sacrifice, Diane is fighting a desperate internal battle, haunted by past mistakes which threaten to tear her increasingly chaotic world apart.

"Kent Jones has assembled a superb group of character actors here, who tell lived-in stories with extraordinary sensitivity and grace." - Nell Minow, RogerEbert.com

"In the context of the modern multiplex, Diane amounts to an act of cinematic bravery, not just in its choice of tough-sell material, but in the patience with which Jones tends it." - Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
