Leave your thoughts about Mommy Dead and Dearest.
| rogercatlin.comRoger CatlinQuestions are raised in Erin Lee Carr's creepily fascinating Mommy Dead and Dearest. |
| Hammer to NailChristopher Llewellyn ReedDismaying, disquieting, distressing, Mommy Dead and Dearest is above all profoundly cinematic. |
| CosmopolitanHelin JungThanks to Carr's efforts, we finally get to meet Dee Dee's father Claude Pitre and other members of the Pitre family, who were absent from Dean's BuzzFeed story. And oh my god, do they have tales to tell. |
| DeciderKayla CobbThe crime at the center of Mommy Dead and Dearest may be scandalous and intriguing, but the documentary's take on its subject always remains human. |
| VoxAja RomanoThe film's interweaving of past and present creates a visually unsettling tapestry of disbelief. |
| User ReviewThomas PQuietly, yet shockingly compelling. Your heart is torn to pieces, but at the same time, thanks to this incredible filmmaking, you are also shown the balance of understanding what's behind the madness. There is no hero in this one. From one prison to another. This will trigger your emotions, and yet sober you up to be more aware of things around you. This has somehow shaken even my view of hand holding. 5 out of 5 |
| User ReviewRyan RA fascinating, saddening, and frightening story that is told carefully and deftly. |
| User ReviewCarlos MDelving into a horrendous case of Munchausen syndrome by proxy, this is a shocking and disturbing documentary that unfolds like a vicious version of Twilight, making a strong argument about our need for freedom before smacking us hard on the face with an even more sinister turn. |
| User ReviewTor MThe true story is just absolutely nuts which makes this relentlessly engaging material to watch. While it's just purely the factual story, it's a disturbing and incredibly entertaining way to spend an hour and 20 minutes. True crime is too fucked up to believe sometimes, this is one of those stories. |
| User ReviewAndres VIncreíble historia, no muy bien documentada, pero igual impactante. La vida de Gypsy Rose Blanchard, la desdichada hija de Dee Dee Blanchard, es terrorífica. Es una historia de esas que deja ver hasta donde puede llevar la crueldad humana, la locura, la enfermedad. Impresionante. |
