Mother's Milk Trailers

Claude is an easily overlooked statistics professor. After a childhood trauma left him motherless, he formed a dysfunctional craving. To satisfy the depraved hunger, he kidnaps Kim from the park and holds her captive in his basement. As the days pass and Claude’s truths are revealed, her fear slowly turns to comfort and compassion…or does it?

Reviews
Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
sukkisandhu All of the exaggerated over the top nonsense reviews of this film made me laugh...These people must have worked on or know the people who were responsible for making this "thing" as i cant see any other reason for such high ratings.I made my account to do my very own honest and real reviews after reading so many idiotic reviews on terrible movies over and over on this site.Do not waste your time with this movie, the simplest and quickest way to sum it up in one word is (Rubbish)End of
rosefauster I like "smart" horror films – and I got one.Mother's Milk is about the psychological unraveling of a deeply troubled teacher (Claude,) who fights personal demons that he's no match for. Claude is a character study in "quiet/mild-mannered" meets "savage brutality" (with a little bit of Anthony Hopkins-esque "sexy" thrown in). A young woman (Mackenzie Wiglesworth as Kim Rodgers) is abducted by Claude early in the film. Despite the odds (I think only "Beauty" ended up with "The Beast") – you hope somehow love will conquer all. In my favorite scene, Claude becomes a petulant five-year old when a dish he serves isn't embraced by his captive. A war of wills ensues, and oddly - you find yourself somehow championing Claude's culinary dictatorship. Here the director is absolutely skilled in capturing the right balance of tension and comic relief in the tug-of-wills between Claude and Kim.But what anchors the terror of the story - is an at first quiet, then frenetic build to a horrifying scene which I still can't get out of my head (no spoiler alert here – you've got to see it to appreciate this level of "disturbing"). I couldn't look, but I couldn't look away.
lauragynco I saw "Mothers Milk" last week via the SoCal film festival. I really knew nothing about it going in, as it was a part of a ticket package I bought. I decided last minute to watch it, as I had time to kill - and I am glad I made the move. The story is pretty disturbing. It's about a man named Claude who kidnaps women and traps them in his basement in order to fill his childhood fetish.The movie basically takes place in one room. I could see some people thinking the movie is a bit slow moving, but there is a big payoff. It's really all about the actor who plays Claude (Casey Chapman). This is a performance that could hold up with anything being buzzed about currently for awards this season. He takes a character that is so disturbing, so disgusting, and so unlikeable and makes him sympathetic. There are points in the movie where I caught myself disagreeing with his victim at points, which shocked me as a woman.Glad that I attend smaller festivals, as you can find hidden gems like this that are just as good (if not better) than what you will see in one of the bigger festivals in the US. I will keep my eye out for films from this writer and director (Edward Pionke) as well.
alexpolcyn I didn't know what expect when I entered this movie, the name alone alluded to something I don't want to think about. However, I was enthralled from the very first shot.GREAT performances, GREAT direction with a Hitchcock horror/suspense vibe. It stayed with me for days... even when I didn't want it to. I was lucky to catch this film at a private screening and I hope to god it gets distributed so more people can see this original piece, if you stumble across it check it out... you won't be disappointed.It's unbelievable and awe-inspiring that many of the cast and crew are new to the game, bravo to all.
