Our take

From acclaimed filmmaker Azazel Jacobs (Terri) comes this autobiographical story featuring Azazel’s father, master of the avant-garde, Ken Jacobs. With quiet, thoughtful direction, Momma’s Man is a convincing realist comic-drama—a complex portrait of children, parents, New York, and adulthood.
