Stage Mother

I thoroughly enjoyed this tale about the power of love, the power of a mother's love, and openness and compassion overcoming prejudices. A gentle, well-told tale with a happy and satisfying ending. Just what we need in these difficult times. And the acting and musical performances were great too.....

Saw the world premiere of this film at the Palm Springs International Film Fest this week and met the cast, director and writer. Fantastic movie with some of the funniest one liners I've ever heard. Audience gave the cast two standing ovations. All showings are sold out. However they do not have a distributor yet! We need to get this movie into theaters so please search for it so the data miners see the interest. This is a very relatable story of parents who reject their gay son and the lengths his mother goes to after he dies to make amends and understand him better. Jacki Weaver delivers a one liner like no one I've seen. It's poignant, funny, eccentric and uplifting.

Had the pleasure of seeing this gem at the PSIFF with many of the cast. It was a joy. Laugh out loud funny, touching and heartfelt without hitting the too sweet button. The cast were super together, great chemistry between all. It was fun to see Lucy Lu in this light hearted role. But the star was Jackie Weaver. The writing was sharp and her delivery flawless. We are going back again to memorize some of the dialog. There are comments that are priceless and wisdom we can all use. There are no car chases, gun battles or other cheap tricks. This movie has heart and a message.

A heart felt story of acceptance and family in a world where being different shouldn't be judged but celebrated.Yet another excellent performance by Jackie Weaver who threads her life of regret for the relationship lost with her son in this diva musical world where more lives in layers the closer you look.

I know this movie has its flaws and there are many. But if you love drag culture, this is worth a watch.

Jackie Weaver is a delight! And the queens are great too
