The villain in this movie is amongst one of the greats, and relatable if you have had a similar controlling family, but health food and yoga does not fit (to the point it actually feels like anti-health propaganda).
A real "gingerbread-house lady" (empty nest syndrome) ensures their young cannot be fit and fight for themselves, and therefore forever needs their parent. This way the parent can always have control over the child.
So due to the majority of the film being based on this confusion of pro-health but narcissistic control, nothing makes sense. It would be much more "in tune" if the mother fed her trash and made an excuse each time in order to keep her down.
Acting is OK but motion is stopped too often.
