The target audience should be parents
Story
A woman takes a break from her career to be a stay-at-home mom, but soon her household takes a surreal turn. It was originally set to be released straight to streaming on Hulu, but strong reception from test screenings prompted Searchlight Pictures to give it a wide theatrical release instead.. Mentioned in Saturday Night Live: Jean Smart/Jelly Roll (2024). Riding Carousel"Performed by Alexander McCabeWritten by Alexander McCabe. The movie is generally good, but I expected it to be darker and more gruesome, rather than comedic.
Adams is undeniably amazing
Although I am not currently a parent, I completely agree with the topics presented. If you have questions about motherhood and female rage, you might find this movie insightful. The script is also well written; some of the characters’ dialogues are very sharp. Marielle Heller is definitely a talented director who can adapt a seemingly impossible book into a successful film. This is the best performance I’ve seen from her so far, and maybe the best performance I’ve seen this year.
It’s a career-defining performance
She is wild, brave and witty. She truly gives herself to the role. The depth of her performance is evident in the intricate details of her facial expressions, which beautifully convey her anger, joy and pain. Adams embodies the role of mother with an authenticity that resonates deeply, likely stemming from her own real-life experiences as a mother. This personal connection elevates her performance, making it both relatable and honest.
No, definitely not
I can’t help but feel a strong connection between her portrayal and my own mother, as if she captures the essence of a mother’s love and sacrifice in a way that really speaks to me. This movie seems to be divisive so far. I’ve seen some people dismiss her performance, and many believe that Adams shouldn’t have won or even been nominated for this bizarre role. For me, acting awards are always based on the performance, not the film. She is the vehicle of the film.
Passion should not disappear
She should definitely be nominated or even win. I hope more people will recognize and see my points. Plus, Scoot McNairy is also fantastic. Despite some flaws, the film is worth watching.
