Can I be your Mother

What a great hidden gem of a film which needs to be heard a lot more. Hazel Doupe plays an amazing role as Char and the connection between her and her 'so called mother' was astonishing. The way you could tell Char loved Angela so much and the agony she had to say "You are not my Mother" must of really hurt.

If anybody wants to see it go watch it on Netflix whilst you have the chance. The only reason I ranked it 7 star is because I didn't feel that scared for a horror and felt more of thriller.

It really shows how mental illness on parent can affect their loved ones especially their children.
