Parents often wait their entire lives for their children to say “Thank you!” and children, sometimes in turn, wait for an “I’m sorry!” This emotional deadlock is the premise of the humorous and edgy Call Mom!. Niki is 35 but lives her life like a 25-year-old when suddenly she’s forced to come to grips with all of her relationships and past choices in life at the same time. (Santa Barbara International Film Festival)

This is a somewhat strange probe into the life of the frustrated and emotionally lost Niki. I wouldn't exactly call this movie a comedy, although there are a few black-humor moments. One of the funniest ones is undoubtedly the scene from the funeral parlor, with the deceased's favorite song playing on a scratched record. When the main character burst out laughing, I had to chuckle too. (70%)
