Mobile Homes (2017) follows a mother and her young son as they drift between motels with the mother's toxic boyfriend. This was a beautiful and heartfelt film with great meaning. The cast did an amazing job, and the film was so visually stunning! This film felt like The Florida Project (2017) meets Nomadland (2020).
Firstly, the cinematography was beautiful and not overwhelming, and the visuals in general were pleasing to the eye. There were a lot of pretty colours and I especially liked the pale blue shots, also the lighting was calm and relaxing. In addition, I liked the framing too. The setting for the film was pretty and a good fit!
The sound was fairly good, I wasn't too fussed about the score but it definitely wasn't bad and it fit the mood well. However, I was genuinely very impressed with the sound design as there was a lot of attention to detail and a lot of effort had gone into it.
The characters felt so real, and all the acting was impressive and brilliant. This film was an intimate character study of a flawed yet relatable protagonist that was easy to root for. Imogen Poots really gave her best performance in Mobile Homes (2017). The mother-son relationship was beautiful and both actors had a lot of chemistry. I'd also like to mention the costuming, which I really liked too.
The film as a whole wasn't consistently engaging, but I still believe it succeeded as a slow-burn. The pacing was very steady and it was packed full of emotional moments. The ending was a nice close to the film and brought me to tears!
