As the marriage of the parents starts falling apart, the movie overall decently showcases a few comedy and awkward scenes.
Furthermore, the journey of Howie and his family at some point even gets a tad tense and dark.
As a matter of fact, on this charming film, Film Inquiry rep comments:
"All These Small Moments reminded me a great deal of two films in particular: that of the recent Lady Bird and this year's very underseen and underrated Blame."
And when asked on the experience of making 'All These Small Moments' in three words, the young mother of one (director) addresses it as Familial, Inquisitive, and Trailblazing.
