Writer and star Kelly O’Sullivan’s Saint Frances is as close as it gets in recent times to a realistic screen portrayal of what it is like being a female millennial at child-bearing age, navigating the pressures of societal expectations. Directed by Alex Thompson, this poignant satirical tale does not shy away from depicting life’s ‘messier’ moments either, but just incorporates them within the natural course of events in a matter of fact way. It also does not attempt to resolve any of the key issues raised by the start of the closing credits. It simply presents them as everyday occurrences for the viewer to past comment on, if needs be. However, as refreshingly honest and playfully eccentric as this piece of fiction feels, there are moments any parent watching might feel greatly stretch the imagination, in order to tell the story. This then detracts from its authenticity.
