Saint Frances wasn’t directed by a woman, though its comedic voice is every bit the creation of screenwriter-star Kelly O’Sullivan, who centers on a 34-year-old eff-up struggling to figure out her life.
O’Sullivan’s script doesn’t shy away from topics that are seldom discussed in studio movies: abortion, menstruation, post-partum depression and same-sex motherhood.
Charin Alvarez gives a distinguished performance as one of the tale’s lesbian mothers.
