Weekly Movie Review: Ma (2019)

Kind of split with this film. On the one hand, I enjoyed the idea of this film: lonely middle-aged woman trying to regain a lost sense of youth. I like the unfolding of her backstory and why she became what she did. I also loved Diana Silver's performance. She's breathtaking.

There was a decent level of creepiness, but multiple times, execution seemed sloppy and lazy. Lots of things that happened didn't seem to make sense, mainly why the moronic kids kept going back to Ma's house after establishing she is a lunatic. Big plot-hole.

Ending was also super anticlimactic and seemingly thrown together. It's entertaining enough and a fun watch regardless, but probably not worthy of repeat viewings.

5.5/10
