jessica lange was born to play that bitch
I’m sad this movie didn’t snap like it should’ve :( especially Jessica Lange being in it... the things they could’ve done
this movie had so much potential and then
just...
n o t h i n g happened.
and what the hell was that ending?
jessica lange sweetie i’m so sorry
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
WHAT WAS THE MOTHER'S END PLAN?
This was so bad. A very predictable script shot in a blunt way that pushes all the clues in your face so you are well aware within 10 minutes where the entire movie is going. To make things worse, the finale is just words. They just inform the mother that they know what she did and leave. Paltrow also forgets about the evil farmhand... the one with the bruised thumbnail that the camera zoomed in on in the laughable home attack and then she sees later, at the same time that the farmhand says the same phrase he did in the home attack. You know, that guy. He's out there still for possible sequels...…
A bland-as-dishwater blonde (Gwyneth Paltrow) gets engaged to a generic 'tall dark and handsome' with no discernible personality, but their premarital bliss is threatened by her soon-to-be mother-in-law (Jessica Lange).
The film is another passable psycho-in-the-house movie that came into vogue in the nineties. Paltrow knows her mother-in-law is mentally ill but appears paranoid whenever she tries to talk about it with her fiance, who wafts through scenes as if blind, deaf and dumb. Lange's role is, of course, the juiciest, and she plays it with all the jittery nuances and clouded-over expressions her fans love her for. Her scenes with her son have a vaguely incestuous vibe. I kept cringing, waiting for their farewell kisses to progress to tongue.…
a vilã do filme surpreende por não aparentar inicialmente características típicas de antagonista se tornando uma das melhores partes do filme. servindo do oposto a protagonista é extremamente sem graça.
o desfecho é intrigante, mas falta emoção e deixa algumas perguntas sem respostas. além disso, tudo que acontece após o parto apesar de entregar um bom final pra mim ficou um pouco apressado, beirando a incoerência.
no entanto, o filme é um bom suspense. jessica lange brilha com sua elegância.
Jessica Lange’s warm up for American Horror Story. 🚬 🥃💉
What a crazy old time this flick is. They sure don’t make them like this anymore, thrillers of the 90s cannot be beat I reckon, so trashy and cheesy and FUN! I think the term for this kind of movie is “potboiler”, with women at the centre acting crazy as hell, one of the trademarks of these movies is a scene with a woman looking into a mirror and then the camera zooming in, both Gwyneth and Jessica get one of these scenes here, I was gagging. Jessica Lange is fab, in almost every scene she’s clutching either a cigarette or a clinking glass, sometimes both, and of course that certain look in her eye that screams trouble, don’t mess…
I love how Jessica Lange had a ciggy in every scene. 🚬
that old lady fed drugs to the ducks!! DRUGS!
boy moms are fucking whack
This could've been a campy guilty pleasure but they pussy out at the ending and basically makes Jessica Lange's entire performance a waste of fucking time.
