Weak Ending (0 more)
I Am Mother does enjoy a deviation from the average film that Netflix puts out. Central to this difference is the inclusion of a real psychological and moral dilemma that it presents.

My First Audiobook
I think I would have enjoyed this more as a print book. The narrator of the audio version was just kind of annoying and over the top, especially when voicing Heidi's mother.

"“I’m still kind of psychoanalysing myself but my first shock was with the relationship between the mother and then the father. To find out that your parents are not perfect and in fact they do behave sometimes like thieves to protect you, it was powerful.”"

"This is a nuanced and powerful novel about growing up, the mother-daughter relationship, female identity, sexuality, cultural dissonance, privilege, poverty and the pernicious legacy of colonialism. Kincaid’s style is both immediate and headily intense. A glinting, multifaceted work within relatively so few pages."

"Another Polish film. Part of a series of films newly restored with the participation of The Film Foundation/Scorsese. Directed by Jerzy Kawalerowicz who also made other great films: Mother Joan of the Angels and Pharaoh (a spectacular Egyptian story shot partly in Uzbekistan)."

"There’s a lot to admire in this but I’d really like to single out the makeup effects crew. Mother Markos was maybe the most horrifying and hilarious thing I’ve seen all year… She’s an oozing, globby masterpiece, and hey, let’s throw in a baby arm."

"Necessity is the mother of invention, and music is one of necessity’s prime agents. Music makes shit happen. Music made this movie happen, and it made Apple become so fucking powerful, and it made my life happen. Johnny, you’re too bad. Whoa whoa whoa."
