The Good Mother (I) (2023)
1/10
not worth watching
23 January 2024
I must have seen many " suspense" films, but this one rates very low, due to a poorly thought out script and very low forms of acting from very highly rated actors.

The story initially centres around the death of Michael the son of journalist, Marissa, played by Hilary Swank, and then the arrival of a pregnant Paige played by Olivia Cooke.

My immediate thoughts were, the pot has been done before, pregnant girl shows up at mothers house claiming its the dead sons, but I was hoping has the film went on there would be a twist to the story.

The film just gets stale and lacks intrigue or suspense. The hope with the film having two great actresses has leads would add some substance to the plot, but has the film goes on it really does not in any way have you sitting on the edge of your seat.

I can honestly say that this is probably the worst acted out character that Hilary Swank has played, not due to her acting, but due to the script and direction.

The ending has you scratching your head as to why I have just wasted 1hr 30 mins watching this, very poor film.
