IS THIS YOU (feature)
Maura and her mother Jeanne have always had a tricky relationship. But when Jeanne starts publishing essays about her troubled daughter's teenage years, those versions of her appear like hormone-fueled poltergeists hell bent on ruining the real Maura's tenuous adult stability. IS THIS YOU is a film about a mother and daughter forced to confront the reality they've birthed, together.
