Join us for Staff Picks, The State’s new series where our staff shares some of their favorite films with our patrons. Concessionist Robert Jimenez picks All About My Mother

"I really enjoy this film due to the various degrees of complexity that it offers on individuals and the various roles they may have. Whether it be motherhood, having a professional career or not, being a son or daughter, etc. The film also deals with themes of existentialism, sexuality, faith and motherhood in various degrees. We met various witty characters that offer a hand in helping us understand this tale of a Woman finding herself and questioning all she’s ever believed after the sudden death of her son. Ultimately Pedro Almodóvar weaves an eccentric and beautiful tapestry of cinema, femininity, love and loss." -- Robert Jimenez
