‘Sharing: The Small Realities of Joint Custody’

https://www.indieshortsmag.com/reviews/2022/06/sharing-the-small-realities-of-joint-custody/

“Mykea Perry’s Sharing examines the rarely explored loneliness of sharing custody of one’s child–or being the child of a split family. The 10-minute long film follows a mother and daughter as they make the bittersweet journey to drop off the latter at her father’s house for Christmas weekend. 

It is a quiet film. Melancholia seeps into its softest moments, as neither mother nor daughter looks forward to the separation. There is no larger drama at play here. Jade’s father is not evil, their journey is not headed for some disaster, they will not be separated forever. Instead, Sharing delves into the ebb and flow of the sorrow that comes from impending farewell.”

“ The performances from mother and daughter are impeccable. Hopi Grace communicates much with few words and it is touching to watch the sweet bond she shares with her daughter and the devastation her character feels when she has to part with her on Boxing Day, of all days. Afiya certainly holds her own alongside her mum and is completely convincing during her more challenging, emotional moment on a second bus ride where she admits feeling anxious and unsure about staying with her dad. If Afiya wishes to pursue acting like her mother, she certainly has a bright future ahead of her!”…
