Review of Mammoth

Mammoth (2009)
4/10
Gloablisation clichéd
16 February 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Mammoth tells the story of a rich New Yorker couple and their daughter and their nanny and her family. While the one side - she is a doctor and he is some kind of creative director at a tremendously successful gaming website - has more money to spend than is good for them, the other side - their Philippine nanny - is working in New York to earn the money for her kids at home. The movie seems to enjoy the contrast between rich and poor in a grotesque manner yet doesn't manage to achieve anything profound. The result is cliché and commonplace up to total boredom or a hidden sarcasm I don't understand. After the previous works of Moodysson, "Fucking Åmål", "Tilsamman" and "Lilya 4Ever" this disappointment leaves me absolutely puzzled.
