Our take

Renowned film critic Kent Jones made his fiction debut with this portrait of a selfless woman whose unwavering service to others hides a lifelong secret. Played by a heart-rending Mary Kay Place, and focusing on small everyday moments, Diane is a subtle, stirring reflection on ageing and mortality.
