Review of The Second Mother (2015) by Zacho D — 29 Sep 2015
This film is heavy-handed with uninspired direction. At first the movie appears float along guileless, no doubt trying to imitate the poignant tone of earlier breakout international indie films like After the Wedding or Grbavica. It ends up simply beating you over the head with its premise in every exchange after minute 30.
Furthermore, I don't know what was more annoying: the main actress' over-acting or the under-acting from almost everyone else (with the exception of the mom and the main character's co-worker).
Brazil has had and will have many better, more original movies than this so save yourself an hour and 48 minutes and skip it.
