Playwright-turned-filmmaker Annie Baker delivers a sun-soaked portrait of an 11-year-old girl grappling with her mother’s social magnetism
Set in Western Massachusetts during the hazy summer of 1991, Janet Planet , the cinematic debut from Pulitzer-winning playwright Annie Baker , exquisitely captures the texture of this time and place through an adolescent gaze. While Baker’s plays involve extended scenes in enclosed spaces, her foray into filmmaking is formally assured, implementing her long-held interest in sharp yet meandering dialogue alongside lush 16mm imagery.
While Janet may sometimes pull away from her daughter, she does deeply understand Lacy in a way that no one else does. Her parenting approach might lack appropriate boundaries , but she always treats her daughter as a fully-formed individual who she will love and support unconditionally. What Janet doesn’t quite grasp, however, is that a child won’t simply start acting like an adult just because they’re treated like one.
