      Molly M Kelly Walker's feature directorial debut is a moving drama about loss and sexual identity that features great performances throughout. After the film's premiere at the 13th annual Mardi Gras film festival, ‘My Fiona' went on to win many awards, including Burbank International Film Festival's ‘Best LGBTQ Feature Film' and Charlotte Film Festival's ‘Best Narrative Feature' award. The film was also chosen to be a part of the 2020 selection for the BFI Flare film festival – the biggest LGBTIQ+ film festival in Europe. ‘My Fiona' follows Jane (Jeanette Maus) as she faces the aftermath of her best friend Fiona's (Sara Amini), unexpected suicide. As Jane struggles to move on, she begins to form a relationship with Fiona's widow Gemma (Corbin Reid) and her young son Bailey (Elohim Nycalove). As the women bond over their grief, their relationship becomes a much deeper affair that could end in disaster for both women. Jeanette Maus gives a brilliant performance in her last on-screen role before her unfortunate death in early 2021, Maus leads a talented cast that all give strong performances throughout. Despite Fiona's abrupt suicide taking place in the opening minutes, great performances and superb directing keep audiences intrigued and invested across the 87-minute runtime. Kelly Walker not only directs the film, but the Australian filmmaker also pens the script, which also went on to win Walker the Best Screenplay Jury Award at the 2021 Out on Film Atlanta film festival. Although the film is a poignant portrayal of loss, ‘My Fiona' still manages to weave in some light-hearted moments amongst its thematically rich story. The film touches on more serious issues including the fallout that comes with losing the person you love, sexuality, and acceptance. ‘My Fiona' combines these themes into a complex story that pulls at your heartstrings. It also explores how relationships transform after traumatic experiences. ‘Hunting ISIS' and ‘Lamb Girl' cinematographer Laura Jansen provides the film with a contemporary, visually pleasing cinematography. Walker brings some of her own experiences to the film such as her surrogate older sister's suicide and Walker's frustration with the lack of bisexual stories portrayed on screen. ‘My Fiona' delves into the different ways people cope with loss. Gemma (Corbin Reid) chooses to keep her head up and continue to work, whereas Jane (Jeanette Maus) shuts the world out, even going as far as taping her bedroom curtains shut. Viewers seeking a complex portrayal of grief and sexuality, that doesn't feel like it drags on, should see ‘My Fiona' as a suitable addition to their watchlists. The film is an impressive feature debut from Kelly Walker as she presents audiences a film full of emotion. Kelly Walker brings a emotionally heavy, thematically rich story to audiences that takes viewers on a journey of love, loss and acceptance. Featuring great performances and attractive cinematography, ‘My Fiona' is a moving study of the emotional chaos that comes with the death of a loved one.
