Janet Planet depicts the dog days of summer in rural Western Massachusetts, from the eyes of 11-year-old Lacy who spends the summer of 1991 at home, enthralled by her own imagination and the attention of her mother, Janet. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Annie Baker captures a child's experience of time passing, and the ineffability of a daughter falling out of love with her mother, in this sublime feature film debut.
