This is a wonderful, upbeat portrayal of a person who has had enough of her life. She knows what she wants to do, and is not "wasting" her time moaning and groaning about things.
Here is a woman who has had a pretty-darn miserable life. The more she shares about how things have gone with her mother, the more I can see why she is ready to move on to whatever her next existence is.
Of course, her mother has benefited greatly from her daughter's existence here on earth. She has been able to get her needs met. So, mother-dear is not very happy to lose her "good thing." I just love the dead-pan way the daughter goes through her list of things to do, to ensure that mother is well-taken-care-of. This shows me what the rest of the daughter's life has been: Forget me, take care of others (those who know that they are MORE important than I am).
All during the movie, I am cheering the Daughter on: GO, Go, go.
And, I get a belly-ful of the mother, and her twisted relationship with her daughter. She deserves to be without a loving, dutiful daughter.
This is a one-of-a-kind gem.
