Nine years after Tarnation stunned the documentary world, Caouette returns with his singular blend of home video montage and intimate confessional—plus a dizzying CGI dream sequence—in Walk Away Renée, a poignant evocation of his mother’s 40-year struggle with mental illness and the effect it has on their relationship. A Sundance Selects release.
