Ma
On Some Weird App My GF Used

I've seen this movie before but my girlfriend really wanted to see it again. And it's still... Meh.

Ma is about a woman bullied as a child coercing a bunch of teens into partying in her basement and also she's kind of crazy and obsessed.

Like I said, it's kinda meh. If it weren't for Octavia Spencer's acting, this movie would be entirely forgettable. But she's an amazing actress and carries the film.

This movie feels like it was butchered into a script like ten drafts over because it's such a disjointed mess of a movie that has characters feel like they once played a bigger part, or they only put characters in for plot purposes.

Barring that, it's just not very interesting, and I feel like there's parts of this movie that, in prior scripts, gave us more development for a character who kind of gets murdered in a way that seems unnecessary? Like we're supposed to be in favor of him dying even though what he did was when he was a teenager and he's a grown ass man now. It was literally more than half his life ago, but it feels like a scene or two was cut that made us think he was an asshole still who deserved death.

There is so little that goes on here overall though and you really wish there was more insane bullshit going on by the end of it.

A dull, forgettable film carried by an all-star actress. That's all this is. But it's still enough to give it a decent score.

Rating: 5.5/10
