In 2015, Oklahoma had recently been voted the ‘manliest state’ in the US. In this documentary, with Mother’s Day soon arriving, radio show host Joe Cristiano decided to investigate if the ‘manliest’ men, in the ‘manliest’ state in the Union, were willing to call in and discuss their mothers on air.

Mom and Me is a creative documentary that delicately challenges the familiar love story shared between a son and his mother. It is a story that reveals comedy in the everyday and misery on some other days.

Mom and Me builds on Irish filmmaker Ken Wardrop’s reputation as an individual voice in the world of creative documentary, and his fascination with family.

General Reviews

“★★★★ Devastating study of motherly love in US’s ‘manliest state’... a heartrending whole guaranteed to make men think to call their mothers more often.” (The Guardian)

“Evidence of the weird variety of humankind and the imperishability of that most essential and elemental of human relationships, between a mother and child.” (The Hollywood Reporter)
