Love & Diane is a 2002 documentary film directed by Jennifer Dworkin about a recovering crack addict and her troubled daughter in New York City as they navigate the obstacles of joblessness, parenthood, welfare, and public housing.
The documentary was filmed over 10 years and follows Diane and her daughter, Love, as they deal with the repercussions of Diane's crack cocaine addiction. Reunited after being placed in foster care, Love, now an adult and a mother, must deal with how her mother's addiction affected her in order to become a better mother to her own child.
Critics gave Love & Diane very positive reviews, with Loren King of the Chicago Tribune saying it is "one of the most searing, heartbreaking and ultimately triumphant mother/daughter stories ever put on film." It has a critics' rating of 85 on Metacritic and 97% on Rotten Tomatoes.
