Mia madre (2015)
Why?
15 June 2021
Why this film got so many high praises? Were we watching the same film, or we just mixed up? To us, me and my wife, both thought it's one of the worst European movies we ever watched. It's so boring from the very beginning till when we both suddenly said: "I can't watch it for another minute!" at the same moment. What's the purpose of this loosely patched, going-nowhere film? Mother was dying, yeah, so what? The daughter had a tough marriage life and a difficult directing movie by hiring a half crazy American Italian to jiggle and mess up her work. The dialog was so boring, the storyline...did it ever exist?

We like Ms. Buy so much in her "A Five Star Life" that lured us to seek out her other films, but after this one, we'd give her up permanently. We wouldn't waste our time and energy again.
