Strangers: The Story of a Mother and Daughter
This a slow-burn emotional punch. Two acting powerhouses chip away at decades of resentment in quiet, everyday moments. No car chases, no gloss, just raw, earned reconciliation that hits deep. Bette Davis earned her Emmy for sure. A lot of arguments. It’s on YouTube. Also reminded me of my own frailed relationship with my mom before she passed.
