You Are Not My Mother


SYNOPSIS

It’s the week before Halloween and Char’s mother, Angela, has inexplicably disappeared. All that remains is her abandoned car. When she returns home without explanation the following evening, it becomes clear to Char and her grandmother, Rita, that something is amiss. She might look and sound the same but Angela’s behaviour has become increasingly frightening, as if she has been replaced by a malevolent force. When Halloween arrives, a night steeped in ancient myth and legend, Char realises that she is the only one who can save her, even if it means potentially losing her forever.


REVIEWS

  • Cinemagazine: Een lekker broeierig sfeertje van onbehagen dat diep onder je huid kruipt. Je voelt doorlopend dat er iets gruwelijk mis is, maar blijft als kijker lange tijd in het ongewisse over het precieze hoe en wat.. Lees de hele review hier.
  • TheGuardian.com: Intense performances by Doupe and Bracken give it a real emotional pulse.
  • Variety.com: A coolly unsettling but also deep-feeling horror film, one that keeps the ordinary and the extraordinary in tense, tetchy balance throughout.
  • TheNewYorkTimes.com: Imaginative and spooky, You Are Not My Mother shows just how frightening - and stigmatizing - a parent's mental illness can be to a child.
  • RogerEbert.com: So effective and emotional, a dedicated portrait of trauma passed down through generations.
  • TheWrap.com: With striking scares, moody atmosphere, and impressive performances, You Are Not My Mother gradually reveals itself to be a wicked, wicked work of horror.
  • LosAngelesTimes.com: At once deeply creepy and strangely moving.
  • DailyGrindhouse.com: an eerie new entry in the folk horror subgenre that mixes magic and family trauma to chilling effect.
  • Wegotthiscovered.com: Thisa thought-provoking, hard-hitting debut from Kate Dolan, balancing family drama with supernatural horror steeped in local legend.
  • Eyeforfilm.co.uk: Heartbreaking in places, spine-shudderingly creepy in others, You Are Not My Mother finds both terror and inspiration in the awareness that the world might be bigger and stranger than expected.
  • Ukfilmreview.co.uk: Dolan and a game cast explore the specific pain and yearning that goes along with wanting so badly to save a person you love from themselves. At the same time, they dig into the horror of looking into familiar eyes and finding no one you recognize, but maybe someone who means you harm.
