Tía Madré

Of filippine filmaking on a low budget. its severe child abuse and neglect that shocks you throughout the whole 83 minutes. the end section are unexpected and very brutal so grab your seat, cause this is madness played very well by the small cast. the drive and well crafted young actress playing the child caracter is startling.

filmographic and visual effects are the work of a craftsman/-woman, the sound effects and icecold bold pianomusic that follows you allround makes the grittyness even tougher to digest. the film may feel slow to some viewers, and storywise its a slim story that makes you disbelief and you start wondering whats really happening. maybe a flaw, but ever so enhancing the subject of madness.

a film that should be viewed when you are at your best of mental fitness, its not a usual meal of horror. a recommend from the grumpy old man
