Picking up where his trailblazing, internationally celebrated, first-person fever dream Tarnation left off, Houston filmmaker Jonathan Caouette is back with his latest film: A bold, brav, and emotionally potent documentary reverie. Caouette embarks on a cross-country road trip to move his mentally ill mother, Renee, from Texas to New York, a journey that both tightens and tests their bond. Through candid home movies, split-screen verité, musical montage and dramas both real and imagined, Walk Away Renee raises questions about love, sacrifice and family.
