The primacy that it places on its dopamine drip of dread undercuts whatever genuine commitment it might have toward mental illness and trauma.

A young woman's mother goes missing and then returns with a different personality.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
The frights are muted, but the air of dread that hangs over Irish writer-director Kate Dolan’s debut feature makes it an immersive experience, one anybody with “mother issues” will quickly identify with.
For much of its impressive duration, Dolan’s film blurs the line between family friction, bipolar disorder and the supernatural.
With striking scares, moody atmosphere, and impressive performances, You Are Not My Mother gradually reveals itself to be a wicked, wicked work of horror, with perhaps only a few unanswered questions holding it back from true greatness.
