Simply the creeps !

Rating: 8/10 (27 January 2013)

First of all, I would like to describe how my feeling was when it was surprised by the outlook of Mama. To be honest, she was a patient with mental problem who tried to protect her child at all cost, which gave me a thought that those so-called abnormal people have a sense of keeping their "creatures" safe. That was emphasized at the time the mother's face was showed off. She looked not so beautiful, which some times made me consider she was a martyr. As a result, that her soul had not been released (or rest-in-peace) turned her to be a ghost had a freaky face, of course, thrilled all the audiences at any time.
Next, the director had created a simple script yet touch. It was a homicide, in my opinion, let a "pre-Mama" woman to the end of the rope and, by accident, led to the unexpected tragedy: she did not die completely. In addition, after five years of seeking those missed nephews, a nearly-comes-to-spouse couple not only did not let them go painfully, but also gave them a special care, which partially was felt by the kids. It was a thoughtful and touching the tears dropped as well as the last scene brought me. It could not be forgotten easily.
Thumbs up for actors! Especially Annabel (Jessica Chastain) and Vitoria (Megan Charpentier). The bond linked them seemingly became stronger by and by for which audiences feel gradually from the start. That Jessica Chastain had made it one Annabel with a little of chaos yet a warm-heart inside, which was proved by the time she had to make a decision about her boyfriend and the two creepy kids of his, conjured me up to the image of the step-mother as a rock star! For Victoria, whatever if it was a result of her older-age, she, granted , had made a good choice: to stay with her real family instead of Mama. It was easy to understand that her attitude toward the new family, who seemed strange to her for the first time, was improved slowly alongside what they got through together. It was a changing progress from disgusting to harmony condition for them both.
To sum up, it is quite hard for me to get Mama out of my mind. Truly obsession as it is, Mama now gets one job: to give the creeps to the world (in theater) !!!
