Fiona

Directed by Amos Kollek

199982 min5.4 / 10

A bleak, intimate portrait of a traumatized young woman navigating survival through addiction, exploitation, and violence, shadowed by the specter of maternal abandonment and the fragile possibility of redemption.

Fiona is abandoned at six months of age, raised in foster and adoptive homes, abused, and, still a teen, hustles on the streets of New York. We watch her use heroine, fall in love with other women, be pursued by men, engage in murderous violence, hide out in a crack house, and decide to leave the city. We see her mother, also a streetwalker and drug user, occasionally talk about her lost daughter. Fiona has a necklace she was clutching when a foundling. Will mother and daughter meet? Is there a silver lining?
