"The Mother"
Watched English movie "The Mother".
This movie is directed by Niki Caro. Story by Misha Green. Produced by Jennifer Lopez and others. Music by Germaine Franco. Cinematography by Ben Seresin. This movie features Jennifer Lopez, Lucy Paez, Omari Hardwick, Joseph Fiennes, Gael Garcia Bernal, Edie Falco, Paul Raci. This movie was released on 12th May 2023 and runs for about 1 hour 58 min. I watched the movie on Netflix on 20th May 2023 with Aditi.
Jennifer is a sharp shooter. She’s had affairs with two bad guys. Hector Alvarez and Adrian Lovell. She gets pregnant with enemie’s child. Enemy tries to kill here. She survives but has to give up her child. She lives in a remote location for years, until the child is in danger.
It’s an action movie. A movie that shows what a mother can do to protect her child. So what’s the difference? Well it’s the setting. Remote snowy wilderness is the setting for the movie. Director manages to stay away from the temptation to use an avalanche.
Jennifer does well and shows glimpses of acting. She portrays the ruthless killer and the caring mother who doesn’t show her emotions. Lucy plays her 12 year old daughter. She does well. The only other notable character is Omari. He does very well in his cameo.
Cinematographer has a lot of scope to show his skills with a lot of outdoor shoots. The wolf family presents a good allegory.
This movie became most watched movie on Netflix when I watched it.
Positives: Setting.
Negatives: How do the villains track the child?
Ok to watch once.
