Synopsis

Twin boys who do everything together, from collecting beetles to feeding stray cats, welcome their mother home after her reconstructive surgery. But with her face wrapped in bandages, and her demeanor distant, they grow suspicious of her identity.

Our take

Twinhood is by turns a beautiful bond and a terrifying force in this dark psychological fairy tale. With a sharp visual style, disturbing set design, and meticulous storytelling, Goodnight Mommy draws on anxieties around doubles and identical siblings to build an increasingly uncanny atmosphere.
