Like an edgy Lifetime movie, except less cohesive.

Unfortunate that there is not consistent enjoyment from story to story. Maybe if the theme was not as tied together, it would be easier to forgive. As is, I felt I was meant to pay attention to each to find what the director wanted to say.
I did love the beginning though and an expanded upon end could have been interesting. The stuff in the middle felt weaker and I honestly struggled to recognize where some of the deeper meanings may have been intended, if they were there.
Mothers’ Instinct (2024) 2.5/5

I am fine mixing camp with serious, but it just felt a little directionless here. It also meanders a bit and there is not enough interesting dialogue or events to make it feel good to be a part of. They definitely set up for moments like that, especially in the later half, but nothing really stood out. No scene is going to stick with me.
I was really on board for the first half, it just doesn’t do well with its questions and suspense.
