Review of Childer

Childer (2016)
6/10
Interesting symbolism of mental illness.
27 July 2022
I think this was a beautiful short, a bit slow but I didn't mind. The mother who is clean, average looking, seemingly harmless. The innocent son she seemed to have no interest in. You wouldn't think this film would take the turn it does, but the foreshadowing kinda gives it away. I think it shows mental illness in such a intriguing way. I wonder if the children were even real. Or just a representation of the mother's mental decline. Beautifully filmed, if you don't mind a slow burn definitely give this one a watch.
