This was hard to watch at times because the focus of the film was a precocious 12 year old girl and her pushover mother. I generally keep my distance from both. I think it’s great for parents to support their children in fulfilling their dreams, but there should be limits. Is it healthy for a tween to boss her mother around because she’s dubbed herself the director? There’s a reason other 12 year olds aren’t making feature length movies—because kids are stupid and have a lot to learn. By jumping through hoops and not cutting in line, you can reach the same goals in a much healthier fashion. The documentary itself was ok. It dragged a lot and felt only slightly less amateurish than what I imagine Emily’s movie looked like.
