Knowing how rarely you give movies an 8/10, I'm glad to see mother! be one of them. It's really quite something.

Glad you found it worth watching, even if you didn't appreciate it as deeply as I did. Interesting that you felt the main character seemed too young to have gone through what he had prior to the event

Yep, that post-credits scene was totally worth waiting for. [spoiler]I just wish we didn't have to wait for the next movie, because holy crap it's going to be awesome. I wanted it to start right after

The additional insights here definitely improve the review. Thanks for letting me know about them!

Sun, 22 Jan 2017 15:44:44 GMT

Yep, agreed all around. It really bugged me too that Kazan looks too young to be the girl's mother. Here's hoping Bertino's next film is better.

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. We're agreed that it has some moments where you realize it's running long...regardless overall the excellence of the film makes up for that.

Glad that you enjoyed it so well! And agreed on all points.

Mon, 29 Aug 2016 01:05:56 GMT

Yeah...I felt like all the scenes that were homages to old Hollywood kept them from developing the story on this one while also bouncing us around between too many characters. Definitely a disappointm
