“a moving and compassionate portrait of lives regularly flattened out and simplified by history’s narrative.” – New Jersey Star Ledger
Synopsis: The riveting story of Lee Harvey Oswald and his complex relationship with his overbearing mother Marguerite, Mama's Boy follows Marguerite's reckless attempts to reunite her family, from Lee's return to the U.S. from Russia, through the assassination of Kennedy, to her son's own murder and her defense of his innocence in the months that follow.
