Tangles
Directed by Leah Nelson
Produced by Monarch Media, Point Grey Pictures
A tender, melancholic portrait of family fracture and reconciliation in the face of Alzheimer's, grounded in intimate character work and the messy beauty of imperfect love.
When Alzheimer's disease begins to strip away her mother's vibrant personality, a headstrong young woman is forced to return to her oddball family in the conservative small town she recently fled in order to care for her. She quickly realizes she must accept the cruel and warped reality of the disease, and the imperfect beauty of her family, in order to become the daughter they need.
