Bugonia (2024) sees Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone fuse bees, biomedical greed and conspiracy zeal into a brutal cosmic horror satire. Mother of Movies digs into the hive.
One More Shot (2025) review: A dark, witty Australian comedy where one bottle of tequila offers a chance to rewrite the millennium. Emily Browning shines in this Groundhog Day meets Sliding Doors chaotic romp.
Shell (2025) review: Elisabeth Moss and Kate Hudson star in Max Minghella’s directorial debut, a darkly comedic body horror film that skewers Hollywood ageism and beauty culture through grotesque transformation. People become lobsters. It’s stranger than it sounds.
Jingle Bell Heist (2025) on Netflix looks like a sparkling Christmas heist-rom-com, yet Mother of Movies uncovers shallow ethics, limp romance, and a caper built on coincidences, not craft.
Michelle Garza Cervera’s 2025 remake of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Maika Monroe in a domestic thriller that adds trauma backstory but loses primal terror. Competent performances can’t save a script that over-explains its villain.
