Goodnight Mommy
dir. Severin Fiala, Veronika Franz · 2015
The struggle to understand identity and trust can lead to profound fear and confusion in relationships.
"Goodnight Mommy" masterfully intertwines childhood fears with the unsettling reality of a mother transformed, creating a psychological horror that lingers long after the credits roll. Its exploration of identity and trust within familial bonds makes it a haunting experience for those who dare to watch.
In the heat of the summer lays a lonesome house in the countryside where nine year old twin brothers await their mother’s return. When she comes home, bandaged after cosmetic surgery, nothing is like before and the children start to doubt whether this woman is actually who she says she is.
