A Mother on the Edge

A complicated conspiracy to convince a woman her daughter is dead and she has blocked it out. It's interesting to see how she goes after all the people conspiring fool her. The actress Kelly Thiebaud is quite good. There is quite a lot of action by Lifetime standards and grand finale is exciting.

At first I'm thinking this could be a decent cerebral thriller, sort of like the Netflix movie "Fractured". Boy was I wrong. This was way too implausible, not to mention violent.

I was utterly confused the whole way through. You mean to tell me that this multi millionaire paid off the teacher, nanny, psychiatrist, ex-husband, the police, forged a death certificate, bought a burial plot, and somehow deleted the kid's school record and photo history on the mom's phone? Give me a break. And there was no other human who could vouch for the fact that the daughter is alive? How about ask the school for surveillance footage of her daughter's drop off?

At first you feel sympathy for the main character, but that goes down the drain once she clobbers everyone in her path.

So the daughter has been dead for a year! The movie came out in 2019, I am watching the move on Lifetime May 27, 2019 and as it shows the mother at the cemetery where the daughter was suppose to be buried, the dates on the tombstone reads as: February 3, 2011 - August 18, 2019. Hello, August 2019 has not arrived yet.

Unbelievable plot and most unsympathetic lead character ever. I was rooting against her.

It's an ok movie, but I started getting annoyed when the mother kept going crazy, screaming, looking crazy, and kept losing her temper.
