Madre

Very good cast. Believable throughout with a brilliant portrayal of the burden of caring for an autistic child. Personally I found the ending too shocking and horrific without warning and so for this reason I can't recommend it.

It could be that I'm just not used to this type of film and that other people would not agree.

Very good story,but.. Really great beginning ,interesting premise ,unusual and refreshing,without regular scare jumps and nudity,so abundant in Hollywood productions.Just mot very well thought and written script...Lack of any explanation of the disturbing behaviour of nanny,of all reasoning behind her evilness,makes It really plummet down towards the very unsatisfying rushed ending...% stars for good beginning and brilliant acting of the main actress.

One of the most horrible thriller I've ever seen. Don't waste your time for this.

The subject matter is handled honestly, at times delicately and at times brutally honest. I don't remember seeing another movie that portrays the daily life of a mother of an impaired child this way, with such candor. It really shows the stage beyond just suffering, fighting uphill every minute of the day to reclaim some normality. It is intriguingly and beautifully done. The plot progresses quite naturally and becomes mysterious for a while, edge of your seat don't want to miss a clue kind of mysterious. The casting is superb, each actor bringing something more to the role, a genuine spark that makes them extremely plausible and real. I love that the filmmaker is not concerned with political correctness. The ending may seem extreme, but not if you read the papers on a regular basis.

Like the other reviewers are saying the ending is lacking, but over all it's definitely not what I would call a boring movie. If you've seen it all like me you seek out movies that are a bit different. This movie at least delivered in that aspect of not being the same repetitive thing that you see day in and day out. So while the ending is abrupt and not the best, it still won't be a waste of time to watch.
