Julianne Nicholson on emotionally unavailable moms and ‘Janet Planet’

We're obsessed with the new A24 picture "Janet Planet." Director Annie Baker's debut shows the turning point between an 11-year-old girl and her eccentric mother in 1990's Western Massachusetts. Julianne Nicholson plays Janet, a single mom who relies on her daughter Lacy's advice while simultaneously craving independence. You might recognize Nicholson from the movie "August: Osage County" and the HBO series "Mare of Easttown"— she agrees with the internet that the finale should have gone down differently! In real life, she's a mom of two who wonders why PSAs had to remind parents to check in on their children at 10pm. Parenting has definitely changed since then! Learn more about your ad choices.
