GoodnightMommy is a complete mess, more concerned with preserving its mystery than telling a captivating story. It is on PrimeVideo now.
\nGoodnight Mommy is the worst kind of thriller, one that cares more about preserving a twist than it does about telling a captivating story. Wasting a great set of performances from child actors Nicholas and Cameron Crovetti, the film is deary, lifeless, and way less smart than it thinks it is. Even Naomi Watts cannot save this one from itself. Entirely skippable.
It is a bit out of left field if you are not paying attention to the clues, but they hit you over the head with them so much it would be hard to miss them.\nBut that is not the only problem here. The film is awash in dark tones and a dreariness that makes the whole film drag. There are all kinds of pacing issues, where lingering a bit more might have brought out more emotions from the characters and given us something to cling onto.
