Goodnight Mommy Ratings & Reviews
- rg94001 november 2024I have now seen 3 movies by Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz. I had similar issues with all of their movies. I think they really struggle to build moment-to-moment tension and suspense, causing a noticeable lack of atmosphere. Their concepts and themes are interesting, and after finishing the movie and stepping away, I often found myself thinking it was a clever way that it all worked out. However, they try so hard to mislead the viewer and keep their last-minute secrets hidden that it often does a disservice to the actual core themes and character relationships that lie at the heart of each movie. I thought Goodnight Mommy was middle of the pack in their filmography because it suffers from all of these issues without making up for it in other ways. The central mystery isn't too hidden, but the movie tries to keep playing with it until the very end, often not actually examining the way the twins and the mothers used to interact or their past to really highlight why the current situation feels so awkward. This is the problem with these filmmakers. Even though there are interesting subversions throughout their filmography that could lead to strong questions about family structures, they never want to actually delve into those topics. The acting is solid and there is some more gore, so it is at least more engaging as The Devil's Bath, but it lacks the more unique aspects of The Lodge.
- CableHere−5 dDidn’t understand what was happening at all, no action, could never tell what the main point of the story was, and the ending wasn’t satisfactory.
- tellum22 oktober 2025There are better movies in the “fucked up” genre, but if that’s the style you like then give this a try.
- Evan May10 juli 2025Watched “Goodnight Mommy” (2014 Austrian original). The premise plays on our anxieties about doppelgängers and twins. But the story reveals the dualities trauma creates, and the masks we choose to wear because of it. When tragedy comes home, are we still safe with the ones we love? Beautifully shot film. No cheap horror tactics, but no less disturbing.

- loganc1532 januari 2025The snail’s pace became irritating.
- Daniel Gustavsson13 oktober 2024Intriguing movie. It really makes you wonder who is lying, if anyone is. Kind of unique concept too, especially with involving the imagination of kids.
