GamerTab That was an excellent one.

LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

hristi_vasilev Some people do not like categorizing this movie as a horror movie and even though I understand where they come from, I highly disagree. It's not a typical horror movie for sure, but it's a film that will follow you and that stays with you long after you watch it. It is a very disturbing movie, but not in the way that you would think. The entire movie is shot in black and white which only adds to the beauty of it. The director uses black and white to try and "reinvigorate" the visual beauty of old movies and to show that black and white can be just as interesting as color (if not more). And it works. The way that it is filmed adds to the story and makes it much more dramatic and gives it an eerie feeling.As simplistic as the plot is, it really does not take away of the beauty of the film. It starts off with a younger version of Francesca (played by Olivia Bond) who lives on a secluded farmhouse with her surgeon mother and her father. Even as a young seemingly innocent child you can tell that she is no normal child. Something dark and unsettling lingers in her eyes. At this young age Francesca is forced to witness a deeply traumatic event which seems to awaken that darkness from deep inside her.Fast forward a few years later as a young woman we follow her as she tries to cope with loneliness while falling deeper into the darkness (played by Kika Magalhaes ). She is a dark, brutal character who's actions make you terrified of her but in a weird way watching her try to socialize and live a normal life brings out some sort of an innocence in her that makes you feel sympathy for her and Kika Magalhaes manages to bring out both of those sides of her beautifully.The bottom line is that it's a movie that you will either love very much or a movie that you will hate. It is a very hard film to digest after all. For me, I was hooked from the first scene. The eerie, hypnotic cinematography combined with the beautiful soundtrack make it a very enjoyable viewing.That being said, hopefully I managed peak your interest without revealing too much of the movie and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the movie. If you are a fan of unique and different movies you will definitely enjoy this. This was Nicolas Pesce's directorial debut and for his first film he did an excellent job and I will definitely be looking forward to his future projects.

sophiaxpost Probably the best horror movie that I've seen by far. Jump scare free, black and white, not too gory. The movie shows how loneliness can make you do crazy things, in this case. I also enjoyed the Portuguese that they added in the movie. It's one of those movies that you can watch more than once, and still enjoy it. (:

lojitsu Here's The Lowedown on "The Eyes of my Mother" (R - 2016 - US)...The universe is unfolding as it should.Genre: Horror/DisturbingMy Score: 5.6Cast=3 Acting=8 Plot=7 Ending=4 Story=7 Scare=3 Jump=2 F/X=7 Gore=6 Disturb=9A young, lonely woman is consumed by her deepest and darkest desires after tragedy strikes her quiet country life. "Loneliness can do strange things to the mind." This movie was twisted...disturbing...and boring!! The score may not reflect this, but I did not like this film. It's all filmed in black and white and that takes away from the visceral gore that should have been seen. The film was so slow that I wanted to shut it off...I've had dentist appointments that felt shorter than this movie. Unless you have a love for slow, twisted B&W horror...I can't recommend this. I will just put this on my shelf never to be seen again.

Jack Riches This movie is mediocre in the first 45 to 50 minutes. However, something happens after this that really left me with a feeling I can't describe. The Eyes of My Mother is a directorial debut set in black & white and after seeing it I'm excited to see what else the director does. The cinematography is also effective. Especially in some scenes with a shed and some chains.The acting was good from everyone involved seeing as though I hadn't seen anything else these people have done. The lead actress does a good job of showing the true loneliness of her character.The concept of what goes down in the final act is truly haunting and it's pulled off really well. I don't know if I'd like the movie as much if it wasn't in black & white and I'm interested to see if the director is going to make all of his future movies black & white. If so I'm not complaining because it's something that isn't done that much these days.
