FIRST OF ALL, FELICIA

France, Romania, 2009 (120 min.)

Dir. Melissa de Raaf, Razvan Radulescu

Felicia, a 40-year-old divorced mother living abroad, is wrapping up a family visit in Romania. After minor conf licts with her well-meaning but semi-irritating mother, Felicia misses her flight home and must reschedule it while playing phone tag with her ex to pick up their son. This hour of mundane conflict climaxes with Felicia chewing out her mother for her past parental failings. The only reason to experience this banally grueling film is to relive the passive-aggressive snipings you and your own mother used to share. (LARA PHILLIPS)
