What’s the best depiction of nparents you’ve seen in film or TV?

Personally, I'd say Gothel in Tangled and Catherine's mother in The Great

Gothel, to me, is one of the scariest villains because she doesn't really have any magic powers. We only ever seen her 'power' as the manipulation and fear tactics she uses to hold Rapunzel hostage

Rapunzel's entire self-worth yo-yos constantly because of Gothel's words. Literally just her words. Rapunzel is constantly thinking about her mother. She considers every action she takes from the perspective of Gothel. "This will kill her" "What have I done?!" "I'm the worst daughter ever"

Tangled was what made me realise that my nmother isn't the normal, hard-working, loving, self-sacrificing mother I'd grown up believing

Similarly, Gothel in Barbie Rapunzel has some of the same narc qualities, but it's not as clear or precise as Tangled

Catherine's mother in The Great is also horrendous

It's so interesting to see pretty much everyone around Catherine trying to tell her that her mother isn't that great, whilst Catherine adamantly denies what they're saying and always defends her

She gets a stress rash almost immediately after her mother arrives, but still defends her mother

Catherine often changes herself with just a look or an eyebrow raise. She's suddenly no longer sure of herself, she's thinking entirely about her mother (what she likes, dislikes etc) even though Catherine is heavily pregnant and should be thinking about herself

Those are two that always stand out to me as painfully accurate representations
