When Charlotte (Katherine Waterson) runs away from her controlling husband and isolating life as a rancher, she returns to the apartment of her mother, Kit (Fiona Shaw), in an affluent building on the famed, titular street. There, Charlotte rekindles her teenage love, as well as her volatile relationship with the acerbic Kit, who has yet to tell her daughter that she is dying. Set against the beautiful backdrop of elegant New York, Park Avenue is a witty yet tense drama about the turbulence of mother-daughter relationships, and the reasons we keep secrets from our loved ones.

Kevin Maher The Times (UK) These two are one of the great, and certainly most credible, mother-daughter pairings on screen. Their combative chemistry and natural ease infuse the film with urgency. Rated: 4/5 Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian There is sweetness and melancholy here, with an interesting cameo from British author Hari Kunzru, though it’s also unclear if all this adds up to anything very substantial. Great stuff from Shaw, however. Rated: 3/5 Nov 13, 2025 Full Review Hilary A White Sunday Independent (Ireland) Shaw is a treat as the elegant, bohemian matriarch smuggling vulnerability beneath the devil-may-care flourishes. Rated: 3/5 Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Anchored by yet another terrific performance from Fiona Shaw, this mother-daughter drama is packed with knowing details and complex characters. Rated: 3/5 Nov 14, 2025 Full Review Steve Morrissey Radio Times The characters are fascinatingly layered, and brought vividly to life by Fiona Shaw, the wealthy, breezy mother who is aware of how lucky she is, and Katherine Waterston, as the nepo baby with a lot of growing up to do. Rated: 4/5 Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Peg Aloi Arts Fuse The film is a rich and satisfying viewing experience, thanks to its dynamic visuals (the sets and costumes are a joy) and powerful performances.
