‘Earth Mama’ Review: Savanah Leaf’s Debut Is a Heartbreaking Look at Mothers
This review was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being covered here wouldn't exist.“Why should we care if you make it?,” a disembodied voice says to a woman at the beginning of Earth Mama. The woman states it doesn’t matter what other people think, it’s her struggle, and only she can know the path she’s walked.
Tia Momore's Performance Is the Beating Heart of 'Earth Mama' Nomore’s silent but impactful performance is essential to Earth Mama’s success, as she fights every day, trying to get her kids back, but also to just make it through another day despite the obstacles in her way.
Savanah Leaf Explores the Larger Impacts of Problematic Systems In Earth Mama, Leaf also explores the cyclical nature of a system that expects failure, and how these system’s issues can be felt years later. A few times throughout the film, Leaf captures interviews with people in Gia’s life, who discuss the difficulties they’ve had in their lives, and occasionally, how the foster system’s impact still hurts them as adults.
