Grown up Mama

Rating: 8/10 (13 September 2013)

It's interesting seeing where a short movie led to. This is based on a short the same director made and was found by Del Toro who produced this movie. Obviously the story did get a revamp and the interesting idea got worked out into a feature length. Which worked out very nice. And it's not only the cast that helps here, the director shows, that he is able to handle a bigger budget as well.
There are some genuine creepy moments in this and Jessica Chastain has one major role to play even though she seems to be second fiddle (in more than on sense). There are many things in this movie that get touched upon and they do work nicely (parenthood, growing up, responsibilities and more). The director is one to look out for.
