Venice Review: 'My Everything' Explores the Complexities of Modern Motherhood

Laure Calamy, star of Call My Agent!, shines in Anne-Sophie Bailly's debut film, My Everything.

This poignant drama follows Mona, a middle-aged woman who must support her disabled son, Joël, as he becomes a father. Calamy's performance is both powerful and relatable, capturing the complexities of single motherhood and the challenges of caring for a loved one with disabilities.

While the film's focus on Mona's perspective is its greatest strength, it also raises questions about the representation of disabled characters. Joël and Océane, the disabled couple who become parents, are often relegated to supporting roles in Mona's story.

Despite this, My Everything offers a thought-provoking exploration of the challenges and rewards of parenting, disability, and the sacrifices we make for those we love.

Key Points:

• Laure Calamy delivers a standout performance as Mona, a single mother facing the challenges of caring for her disabled son.
• The film's focus on Mona's perspective raises questions about the representation of disabled characters.
• My Everything explores the complexities of parenting, disability, and the sacrifices we make for our loved ones.
