STRAW 2025: A Mother’s Silence Was Louder Than a Siren
A haunting look at grief, survival, and a mother’s quiet collapse in a world that never gave her room to fall.

A prodigious animated short film created using sketches scribbled on sheets of paper scattered around a room, which the author folds and unfolds as the story unfolds.
A haunting look at grief, survival, and a mother’s quiet collapse in a world that never gave her room to fall.
Another uneven "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" redux that says nothing novel about its subject matter.
The film basically says she was a lost cause from the start. We don't get a sense of who Marilyn was.
I imagine that it would be a dream job for an actor to play the parts of twin brothers Dominick and Thomas Birdsey in I Know This Much Is True.
