Flying Lessons

Beatrice knows mom is dead. She just doesn’t want to deal with it. Neither does Talia, who is not equipped to care for Beatrice, her newly orphaned Autistic sister. Isolated in a rural home that Talia can’t stand, and Beatrice never wants to leave, the estranged sisters struggle to figure out what their new life will be.

My take

A quietly devastating portrait of two sisters learning to live with grief and each other. Intimate, tender, and unflinching—the kind of film that sits with you long after it ends.
