Movie Info & Cast

Synopsis

Diane (Mary Kay Place) always gives too much of herself. She helps friends and does volunteer work in every possible way, and devotes much of her life to trying to guide her drug-addicted son (Jake Lacy) to a more stable life. Yet all Diane’s efforts are the work of a woman just trying to stay afloat, and her constant motion hides a smoldering core of memories and regrets that she would prefer not to face.

With a stunning performance from Mary Kay Place, Diane is a journey through a generous, tough, and haunted life. The first film from Kent Jones defies all expectations as it sets up a tender character study that evolves into a spiritually profound portrait of a woman desperately searching for redemption.

There is a large age group that will relate in some way to it. It’s sobering. Not so much “sad” but inevitable. Worth going though compared to current in theatre first runs right now

Diane is brutally honest about the losses that can define this stage of life.

That spiky aunt is played by Estelle Parsons (Bonnie Clyde); one of the pleasures of Diane is the rare platform it gives older actresses, including Andrea Martin, Phyllis Somerville, and Deirdre O’Connell.

In hewing so closely to life — in all its frailty and fellowship, its perseverance and mutual care — Jones has made something larger than life.
