Leia S Jan 9, 2019 This is an ok movie that seemed to drag on at times. The concept is very good: a new mother who suffers from violently delusional episodes tries to manage her mental illness while caring for a newborn. After seeing how out it initially plays out its no wonder this singing mother loses her child (unfit mother). Then the movie takes a left turn as it begins to focus on a relationship she gets involved in. This is a weird relationship as it's extremely violent (both imagined and for real). Why the man chooses to stay in anyone's guess because as great as her singing is, it's not worth the violence. Its an emotional rollercoaster ride and a psychological thriller whose run time feels too long (even though it's only 1.5hrs). See more
