Lily, 31, is an average woman with an average life. She's pretty, friendly, and does well at her job as a claims analyst for an insurance company. But there's one facet of Lily's life that just isn't normal-her mother. A couple years ago, Lily moved back in with her mother Inez, 60, to help take care of her when she was sick. Now that she's there, Inez is not about to let her leave. Lonely and bitter after her own husband left her years ago, Inez feels that Lily is the only person she has left in the world and has tangled such a web of guilt and lies around Lily, the young woman is scared to leave. Inez does everything she can-even going to extremes-to sabotage any relationship Lily tries to have... especially with men. Unfortunately for Inez, Lily begins dating a guy at work, Larry, 40, who is seemingly perfect for her. Fearing her daughter will soon leave to 'have her own life,' Inez realizes she must pull out the big guns to make sure Lily and Larry never end up together.

将自己和家人、邻居暴露在镜头前，比Hooligan Sparrow的传记形式走得更远，看得人泪流满面，但问题反而更加明显且严重。一方面太注重自己“英语片”的身份，环节取舍失调，花大半时间描述与美国关系最密切的官方贩卖网络（而且开头的艺术家部分也过于disturbing、自我感动），其他部分都几乎被一笔带过，甚至对“失独老人”、“小皇帝”、“教育资源争夺战”、养老金亏空等一系列或因计划生育政策产生，或与其相关的社会问题几乎只字未提。如果不考虑到电影开头搬出的“私人性”挡箭牌，此等程度的疏忽将是不可饶恕的。另一方面，尽管我们不应该强求一部纪录片对问题作出解答，但对于政策，影片中多次摆出了“讨论”的姿态，实际上导演却并没有留下讨论的空间，这种采访思路多少有些狡猾。
