In Goodnight Mommy, nine-year-old twins wait for their mother to come home, and when she does, bandaged after surgery, they doubt she is their mother. The Lodge leaves two children with their father's new girlfriend at a snowbound holiday home. The Devil's Bath follows a devout woman in 1750 Austria whose marriage becomes a list of chores and expectations.
