Mammoth

Mammoth (2009) is a drama from Lukas Moodysson starring Gael García Bernal and Michelle Williams, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Three stories on three continents, tied together by one family.

Leo and Ellen are a thriving New York couple — he designs video games, she works as a surgeon — and their daughter is closer to her Filipina nanny than to either parent. When Leo flies to Thailand on business, he sets off a chain of events that reaches everyone involved. Half a world away, the nanny's own sons wait for her, counting the days until she comes home.

Moodysson, the Swedish director, traces global inequality without lecturing — through quiet domestic moments and distances that money can't close. It's slow, heavy and unsparing, made for viewers who go in for festival cinema. Stream Mammoth (2009) online on iFILM.
