The movie starts with a realistic and all too familiar premise: Kay (Emily Mortimer)'s elderly mother Edna (Robyn Nevins) hasn't been seen in a few days, so Kay and her own daughter Sam (Bella Heathcote) go home to look for her. There's signs that Edna might be getting worse than just "getting a little forgetful." There's rotten fruit in a bowl on a table, and little notes all over the house as reminders to do basic tasks. When Edna reappears, Kay begins to not be able to tell if she's slipping into dementia or something more sinister.
The last 20 minutes had me absolutely riveted and holding my breath from the tension. The movie is carried ably mostly by these three actresses, who take a common family drama element and add much more. If you liked the found footage film THE TAKING OF DEBORAH LOGAN, this is a much more stylish and brooding version of a similar idea.
