Is it too soon to talk about lockdown(s)? Leave your PTSD at the door and surrender to Emily Railsback’s largely improvised, immensely generous portrait of loving lesbian mums trying to keep their shit together while raising a toddler during the upheaval of the pandemic. Bette is itching to get back to her theatre gig now that everything’s reopening, but then gets made redundant. Elsie is going great guns as an adjunct professor who teaches her classes on Zoom, but their landlord’s selling their apartment building from underneath them. Do they have time to sort it out, raise their kid and maybe squish in sex once in a while? You’ll certainly be rooting for them.
