THE EYES OF MY MOTHER
Borrowing a page or two from the Ed Gein mythos by way of Psycho and the likes of Polanski’s Repulsion, writer/director Nicolas Pesce’s debut feature presents a good case against home schooling.
Filmed in crisp black & white, it’s a steadily paced descent into supreme dysfunctional family fallout. Pesce does a fantastic job with alluded to gore and grue and keeps the macabre musings moving along with enough cringe worthy moments to keep you unnerved.
Sure, most of the plot points are old hat, but the cinematography, pacing, and acting insure that things feel just fresh enough.
