Nathan Ambrosioni Finds Sympathy for ‘Bad Mothers’ in Camille Cottin Starrer ‘Out of Love’: ‘If You Judge Your Characters, You Judge Your Audience’

In the film Out of Love, director Nathan Ambrosioni explores the messy, often unspoken realities of motherhood through the story of two sisters. When widowed Suzanne abruptly drops her kids on her child-free sister Jeanne and vanishes, the film digs into societal expectations, judgment, and the idea that not every woman fits the "perfect mother" mold. Ambrosioni’s approach—refusing to villainize his characters—suggests that judging flawed mothers means judging the audience too.
