Theme: FAIR

Helen doesn't fit in very well in the role of antagonist. Despite disturbing a bit her daughter's plans and being an overprotective mother, she somehow shares the film's leading role with Thea. In addition, the author could use the development pitch session to describe her story better.

The script's tone is light and fun, and it makes us want to look deeper into the mother-daughter relationship. The opening scene is also quite interesting, where Helen and Thea, in a therapy session, point guns at each other.

The script has a lot of characters, and that ends up making the reading a little tiring.

THE STORY DOES NOT RELY ON SPECIAL EFFECTS

The hook é the problematic relationship between mother and daughter, which generates conflicts and an almost natural detachment. It's a kind of story that easily finds identification in the audience.

I wouldn't say a large fanbase, but it has the potential to attract people who like the genre.

The author creates a comedic tone well and writes funny dialogue and situations. So, the film could have the potential for awards within the genre.

MEDIUM BUDGET

MOTHERS AND DAUGHTERS: A PHOTOGRAPHER WANTS TO PRODUCE A PIECE ABOUT THE ROLE OF MOTHERS IN DIFFERENT FAMILIES AND ENDS UP UNDERSTANDING HER RELATIONSHIP WITH HER OWN FAMILY. LADY BIRD: THE DIFFICULT RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A YOUNG GIRL AND HER MOTHER.

The desires and goals of each character give a more authentic personality to the film. The artistic dance world and the competitive corporative world offer a good counterpoint to the protagonists.

Helen is a self-centered woman who lives by comparing herself to others and wants to show that she is always the best. Thea, on the other hand, just wants to quietly live her youth and do what she loves most, which is dancing. The two work very well together and add to the fun and conflicts of the story. The other characters, being very numerous, end up not having very different voices or being much remarkable.

It's not a rare gem, but a fun and well-structured movie. The drama, arising from the conflicts between mother and daughter, could be further enhanced to make the story more intense.

Film

CONSIDER

The tone perfectly matches the chosen genre- comedy, and it's responsible for part of the script's attractiveness. The theme of troubled relationships between mothers and daughters is always current and relevant. It is approached here in a somewhat cliché but still effective way. The characters are compelling, and their personalities, exaggerated by the comedy, are still believable. They are totally opposite, and this counterpoint is what generates conflicts and laughter. The two work very well together. The competitions the two are gearing up for run in parallel and give us a reasonable basis on what matters to these characters. In addition, the dance universe brings fresh air to the subgenre and makes the narrative lighter in general. The dialogues are good. They don't bring too much exposure, nor do they leave us completely lost, and on top of that, they're somehow funny and original. In the end, the result of the competitions doesn't matter. What really matters is the development of a new relationship between mother and daughter throughout the story. Some adjustments are needed in structure, making the plot more intriguing, and in character development, making the secondary ones a little more striking.
