Ok so I apologize as I am really struggling to remember specific details. But I know there is a successful woman who has become reclusive and is living at home. She might be an author or something like that. There is a younger woman (potentially a man) who is like a mentee who kinds of ends up being her caregiver. She wants to be more and successful but the older woman is sort of dragging her down mentally.
I believe the younger person is engaged, and the older woman is against that I think. The older woman is married and the husband is not around often. A lot of the movie takes place in the house. There are books, I think it ends in a garden.
The older woman might have dementia or some kind of illness. She’s very snappy and manipulative.
The closest thing I’ve found is The Lesson but it’s not that.
Slow burn drama. Not a ton happens. English language. Made in the last 10 years.
Scenes at dinner table, bathroom, bedroom, flowery garden.
Please help me.
