Peppermint

2006 · 82 min

A tense, emotionally raw chamber drama that unfolds over one difficult day, with confrontations that feel painfully real.

Overview: Beth’s attempt to validate herself in the eyes of her competitive mother Ann, results in a series of shocking revelations which unfold in the space of one difficult day. Caught in the emotional crossfire are Mike and Nan, the people closest to the pair. A past of parental neglect and irresponsible adulthood emerges, which looks inevitably set to repeat itself.
How it feels: Tense, melancholic, dark and earnest. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Family, parenthood, identity, betrayal
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
