A Conversation with Your Mom is inspired by Chantal Akerman’s News From Home. In the film, she reads letters her mother sent her ,between 1971 and 1973, which she reads over footage of the city. You can watch that here.
You: Wow, great.
Mom: Great? Her grades are already slipping, and it just means I have to drive her around more than I do now.
" I guess." or "That sucks. She should get help after school."
