2016. Albany, New York. After the death of her husband,
talented journalist Marissa Bennings (Hilary Swank) is
going through a creative crisis and is in a permanent
bender. And already difficult period in her life is
overshadowed by another sad news - someone shot her
youngest son Michael (Madison Harrison). Although the boy
has long lost his mother's trust because of his addiction
to drugs, the woman still wants to find the person
responsible for his death. The police suspect a small-
time drug dealer, Ducky (Hopper Penn), with whom Michael
was running a dirty business. Marissa's eldest son Toby
(Jack Reynor), a police officer, is searching for the
killer. The pregnant girlfriend of the deceased Paige
(Olivia Cooke) is also conducting her own investigation.
With Marissa's support, the girl decides to get to the
truth, no matter what it takes. Another great
explained/">review film about a mother and her son.
The director and co-writer of Mother's Wrath is the young
American film-maker Miles Joris-Peyrafit. The most
notable project in his still modest portfolio - a
dramatic thriller "Dreamland" with Margot Robbie. It is
clear that the name of a little-known director of a big
advertisement for the film does not make. Not
surprisingly, that to promote the picture decided with
the help of high-profile projects of one of the
producers. As an enticement chose three powerful tittle:
"The Joker", "The Irishman", "The Wolf of Wall Street".
All of these films were indeed produced by Emma Tillinger
Koskoff, who also worked on the creation of "Wrath of the
Mother".
It is hardly a revelation to anyone that the figure of
the producer is not a guarantee of quality. A good film
needs at least a strong script and a confident hand of
the director. Alas, "Wrath of the Mother" can not boast
of this. Loud titles here will rather mislead the average
viewer, who will hope in vain for a high level of film
distribution novelty. Genre geeks have nothing to catch
here either - the intrigue with the identity of the main
antagonist is disappointingly foreseen even at the
trailer stage.
Thanks
