The Eyes of My Mother
Crit
Look, I'm not saying Francisca wasn't unusually fascinated by blood even as a little girl (Olivia Bond), her family intact. I'm just saying that if that weird, giggly visitor (Will Brill) hadn't shown up one day to bludgeon her mother (Diana Agostini) in the bathroom, and if the reaction of her wordless father (Paul Nazak) hadn't been to imprison the psycho in the barn, the adult Francisca (Kika Magalhaes) might have had a better chance of learning how to relate to others in a less sanguinary fashion.
A stylish and spare film without a hint of the supernatural from first-time writer-director Nicholas Pesce, lovingly shot in bloody black and white.
