The School For Good Mothers

Jessamine Chen

In The School for Good Mothers, Frida is the mother of a 1-year-old daughter, Harriet, for whom she shares joint custody with her ex-husband. On a particularly overwhelming day, Frida leaves Harriet alone for a few hours. To Frida's horror, she's soon been reported for neglect and an investigation into her capacity as a mother begins. Soon, Frida is thrust into an intrusive, dystopian program to assess her mothering abilities, and her custody over her child hangs in the balance.
