Rochester Premiere: Momma’s Man January 18, 2009
Rochester, New York 14607
(Azazel Jacobs, US 2008, 94 min.)
A major breakthrough by writer-director Azazel Jacobs, Momma’s Man is one of the most critically acclaimed films of 2008. With a wife and infant child in Los Angeles, thirtysomething Mikey (Matt Boren) returns home to the New York loft of his bohemian parents (played by the director’s real parents, legendary avant-garde filmmaker Ken Jacobs and artist Flo Jacobs). Finding excuses not to leave, Mikey begins regressing to his youth, forcing his gentle, but confused, parents to confront the situation. “A touchingly true film, part weepie, part comedy, about the agonies of navigating that slippery slope called adulthood”—Manohla Dargis, The New York Times.
