Mermaids
A bittersweet comedy-drama set in a quaint 1960s Massachusetts town, *Mermaids* explores the unconventional dynamics of a mother and her two daughters navigating love, loss, and societal expectations. Beyond a simple coming-of-age story, the film delicately portrays a young woman’s first experiences with romantic attraction alongside her mother’s own search for stability, challenging the traditional roles within a family unit. The narrative isn't defined by grand gestures but instead by quietly observant moments – the anxieties surrounding religious upbringing, the subtle disruptions of a changing world marked by events like the Kennedy assassination, and the acceptance of individual identities shaped by both societal pressures and personal desires. Ultimately, it's a film about forging connection amidst constant change, celebrating the messy realities of female relationships, and finding joy in the everyday.
