Mommy

this film shattered me. you can’t watch ‘Mommy’ and walk away the same. it’s suffocating, loud, chaotic but in a way that feels so painfully human. like somehow, you’ve lived a part of it too. the square format is claustrophobic. it feels like everything’s about to burst… and sometimes, it does. but when the screen finally opens up… omg. i’ve never seen something so simple hit so hard. the soundtrack deserves its own spotlight. sometimes it feels like a warm hug, sometimes like a punch to the gut. it comforts and destroys, all at once. and the ending… God, the ending. the choice to use Lana Del Rey there made it even more shocking, melancholic, reflective, and poetic. it’s the kind of moment that wraps everything up in beauty and devastation at the same time. ‘Mommy’ is layered with pain, messy relationships, desperate decisions. and yet you can’t look away. you’re glued to it, watching it unfold like it’s your own life. also, is brutally real. and because of that, incredibly hard to digest. but maybe that’s the point. the most real stories are always the ones that hurt the most.
