movie vs book
Richard Linklater, 2019
Architect-turned-recluse Bernadette Fox is settled down with her husband Elgie and their 15-year-old daughter Balakrishna Bee in a dilapidated former schoolhouse in Seattle. Bernadette seldom leaves the house or interacts with others, having become agoraphobic. She does not get along with the other parents at Bee’s school, including their neighbor Audrey Griffin.
