Fran

1985 · 98 min

A quiet, closely observed character study that sits with a woman's loneliness and difficult choices, feeling honest and gently sad.

Overview: Fran, a single mother, is selflessly devoted to her children. But something is lacking in her life, and that something is the love of a man her own age. Her efforts to juggle a love life with her home life are largely unsuccessful.
How it feels: Melancholic, earnest and tense. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Parenthood, identity, isolation, love
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
