Pesce is clearly a talent to watch but The Eyes of My Mother is too mannered, eccentric and deliberately paced to entirely win you over.
A twisted portrait of a 1950s American family gone very wrong.
Disturbing, scary tale of an isolated girl who grows into a killer, filmed beautifully in black and white by a debut director who knows his way around a nightmare.
The unnerving story of a young woman damaged by a violent tragedy is restrained and elegant – until suddenly it’s not.
More likely to send you to sleep than keep you up at night.
