Review of M.O.M. Mothers of Monsters

I like completely understand what the writers and actors were trying to portray, and initially they succeed. It was intriguing at first but unfortunately it collapsed under it's own weight, until both actors are left hamming it up and overacting towards the end, and it resembles a soap opera. This will obviously be compared to we need to talk about Kevin, which was a searing and exquisitely executed film about troubled teens and their parents. As a result this ends up looking like a copy of a copy of a copy. There were glaring inconsistencies in the characters behaviours, and although were supposed to be questioning if the kid is capable of murder or not, I found his "teen speak" ("snooze fest" "ain't gonna fly") embarrassing, as teenagers don't talk like that, and his portrayal of a "dangerous" teenager laughable and distracting. I've given it 6 because the production and editing were pretty good for a budget movie.
