Watch Mother For Free

Simply Perfect

From my favorite movies..

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

I went to bed one night and wanted to watch a movie because I wasn't tired. I looked through the "International Movies" section and found Madre. I'm a spanish native speaker so I thought to myself why not. It all started with a severe autistic child and a pregnant mother who worried for him and had a tough time caring for him. Eventually, the mother had an episode with the child at a grocery store and bumped into Luz, the Filipino nanny. Everything went downhill after this and the nanny was doing all sorts of satanic rituals. It was a crazy and unique movie, I loved it and you would too.

This movie is irritating and has a really stupid ending. No logic and unacceptable... Mother never opened about the doctors blood test results to anyone. Husband sparking ruthlessly with a pregnant wife supporting a 3rd person, Even after knowing old lady's intention, mother never tried to get out of the house and with her friend and above all she never visits the doctor for the last 40 minutes of the movie.

I was trying to find answers for the ending of this movie. The ending was shocking, left me stunned and asking what just happened and why. Then realized, evil has no explanation and often leaves us wondering why and how could this happen. Daniela Ramirez was excellent. she had me feeling every emotion she was expressing.

The subject matter is handled honestly, at times delicately and at times brutally honest. I don't remember seeing another movie that portrays the daily life of a mother of an impaired child this way, with such candor. It really shows the stage beyond just suffering, fighting uphill every minute of the day to reclaim some normality. It is intriguingly and beautifully done. The plot progresses quite naturally and becomes mysterious for a while, edge of your seat don't want to miss a clue kind of mysterious. The casting is superb, each actor bringing something more to the role, a genuine spark that makes them extremely plausible and real. I love that the filmmaker is not concerned with political correctness. The ending may seem extreme, but not if you read the papers on a regular basis.
