mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

gmorlabaez I went to bed one night and wanted to watch a movie because I wasn't tired. I looked through the "International Movies" section and found Madre. I'm a spanish native speaker so I thought to myself why not. It all started with a severe autistic child and a pregnant mother who worried for him and had a tough time caring for him. Eventually, the mother had an episode with the child at a grocery store and bumped into Luz, the Filipino nanny. Everything went downhill after this and the nanny was doing all sorts of satanic rituals. It was a crazy and unique movie, I loved it and you would too.

kosmasp I guess with movies like this, it's one or the other. But most likely the one thing you expect. So while you may not feel many surprises in the story/thriller, you may like how the tension is being build and the acting in general. It's not an easy watch, especially when and if you care for one of the main characters. Problem being you might not care that much.So watching the wife and her husband, the question is, if you are supposed to have positive feelings towards the Babysitter? Now the ending on the other hand will either leave you satisfied because of the way everything is "wrapped" up or you may hate it for how it handled the whole thing. Not sure if it is a make or break thing though - I think you will know much earlier ...

Evangelos Aktoudianakis Let me start by saying this movie is insulting to any a parent who has an autistic child, and to the autistic community as a whole:Autistic children don't try to murder their parents. Parents don't chain autistic children in bed, or wear them rugby helmets. Maybe 300 years ago, but I am pretty certain that's not the suggested treatment nowadays.Going further (SPOILERS ALERT):How was the old lady (who could not act for her life) able to calm down the child? Noone knows.How was it they were able to dissect dogs and cats inside the house for 2 months without anyone smelling or noticing anything? No one knowsWhy did the mother's friend stay for dinner after the mother stormed out of her own house? Noone knows.Why was she killed since she obviously did not suspect anything? Noone knows.Why did they want the child? Noone knows.Did they plan all along to take the child? How? They never met till that day in the supermarket. Noone knows.Why did they let her live, when she was an obvious witness? Noone knows.What was that whole : the husband sleeps with other women, which was then never explored? Noone knows.Easily The Last Jedi of horror movies, minus the unecessary SJW/Manhating element. A piece in pieces, with people in it acting mediocrely that starts nowhere, goes nowhere in a journey that makes absolutely no sense. P.S. -> And of course, the old lady is poisoning the mother because that's never been done before either.

exs Don't waste your time with this one, it starts as a drama about a mother dealing with an autistic child and then it turns into some sort of satanic or cultist rituals from a Filipino old lady to steal a baby, planned for months apparently.The story development was so unbelievable and annoying that by the end they just rushed the story ending and in less than a minute they "explain" everything and end up with an abstract scene about the old lady escaping with the baby.If the real mother really wanted to be heard and that the other believed her story, she should have used her expensive iPhone to record video instead of only translating audio from Filipino to Spanish, audio that was not saved.Waste of time and money making this awful movie.
