Helicopter Mom (2015)

Stepping onto the thin line that separates care from control, Maggie Cooper navigates the tumultuous terrain of parenthood, armed with an overwhelming abundance of love and good intentions. However, her affectionate compass veers towards the smothering end of the spectrum, particularly when it comes to her son, Lloyd. Under the relentless whir of her 'helicopter mom' propellers, Maggie doesn't just accept the possibility of Lloyd being gay, she actively advocates for it. Convinced beyond doubt, she pulls the curtain back on her son's supposed sexuality, inadvertently casting him into the glaring spotlight of high school scrutiny. Maggie's meddling doesn't stop there. She commandeers Lloyd's social life, meticulously selecting boys for him to date, and even going as far as to file for a gay student college scholarship on his behalf. This intricate web of assumptions and interventions might have held together, if not for one crucial glitch in Maggie's elaborate plans: her son's actual feelings. Lloyd, caught in the whirlwind of his mother's convictions, grapples with his own uncertainty about his sexuality. To further complicate matters, he's just invited a charming girl to be his date for the prom. As the narrative unfolds, it poses a poignant question: Will Maggie be able to unspool her preconceptions and accept her son for who he truly is, or will she remain entrenched in her vision of who she believes him to be? This heartfelt comedy-drama is a vibrant exploration of identity, acceptance, and the often overwhelming love that binds a parent and child.
