Other Mommy

Black and white, one set, no music for most of it, and I have never been more gripped. I rewatched it the following week just to see how it is built.

The final rally had me actually standing up in my own living room. I have never done that at a film before.

The bathroom scene early on told me exactly what I was in for and I stayed anyway. Best time I have had being appalled.

I went with someone raised religious and they were far more disturbed than me. We argued about it for an hour in the pub.

I have a cousin exactly like that and I watched the whole thing with my stomach in a knot. Very funny, very hard to sit through.

Eighty-five minutes, no words, and I was more invested than in anything else I saw this year. Watched it again the same evening.
