Preston moved to New York in the mid-1950s to pursue photography. She becomes a single mother, working to support her daughter Samantha alone and constantly pursuing new innovations in photography. She takes countless candid shots around their home. A showing of "the Samantha series," which includes "Mommy is Sick" and photographs of her daughter in various states of undress, leads to an obscenity case. Her mother and her photographs being headline news causes a radical change in how Samantha feels about being her mother's subject.
Feast Your Eyes is at its heart a story of the complex relationship between mother and daughter as Samantha grows up and Lillian struggles to live her artistic life authentically.
Overall: A+
