Why it’s HorroRated
Goodnight Mommy 2022 is a competent remake that softens the Austrian original's commitment to ambiguity in ways that make it more accessible and less disturbing. Naomi Watts gives a strong performance that the film isn't entirely worthy of. Worth watching if the original's ending was too much, though the trade-off is real.
Synopsis
The American remake of the Austrian Goodnight Mommy retains the premise and the setting but softens the original's commitment to ambiguity. Naomi Watts gives a strong performance that the film isn't entirely worthy of. Worth watching if the original's ending was too much, though the trade-off is real.
