After escaping her conservative small town, Sarah must return to care of Midge, her vibrant and headstrong mother, whose Alzheimer’s diagnosis transforms the very fabric of their family. Told through beautifully rendered, hand-drawn animation, the film traces the journey and choices Sarah faces to help her family through the erosion of the world they knew. 

Infused with a with a well-calibrated sense of humor, full of joy, and overflowing with love, this adaptation of Sarah Leavitt’s graphic memoir (Tangles: A Story About Alzheimer’s, My Mother and Me) features a stellar voice cast including Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Abbi Jacobson, Samira Wiley, Bryan Cranston, Beanie Feldstein, Wanda Sykes, and Seth Rogen.

“An affectionate and irreverent animated memoir that shades every stage of grief with gallows wit.”
