Never Steady, Never Still (2017)

Never Steady, Never Still: Directed by Kathleen Hepburn. With Shirley Henderson, Théodore Pellerin, Mary Galloway, Nicholas Campbell. A mother struggles to take control of her life in the face of advanced Parkinson’s disease, while her son battles his sexual and emotional identity amongst the violence of Alberta’s oil field work camps.

“A Canadian drama; A moving story about a woman struggling to cope with the onset of the neurodegenerative disorder Parkinsonu0026#39;s, and her son coming to terms with his identity and sexuality. The film is all about the performances, especially soft-spoken Shirley Henderson and her delicate performance. The characters seem very well observed in how they cope with grief, trauma and circumstance – a mutual appreciation for one another. These people are good people and it is refreshing the way the drama unfolds.”
