I pulled on my jacket over my red flannel pajamas and tucked my phone into my pocket. Especially after all he’d sacrificed to save me. I couldn’t let something bad happen to him. “ We Need to Talk About Kevin,” dir.Except, I didn’t know if there was anything I could do-not if Daniel wasn’t responding to me anymore-but I had to at least try. “Thirteen” not only struck mortal fear into the hearts of parents with teenagers nationwide it also gave us an unparalleled onscreen mother-daughter relationship that, while grisly, speaks to the bond of motherhood. The two characters engage in an epic violent dance of teenage mother and daughter that ends in a cathartic concession: Tracy falls into her mother’s arms. When mom swoops in, it’s too late: Tracy’s destructive compulsions have systematically stripped away her empathy and moral compass, changing her character such that Melanie can no longer recognize her daughter but for her physical appearance. A recovering alcoholic, high school dropout, and struggling single mom, Melanie is clueless about her daughter’s rapid descent into delinquency until the pair has already arrived at the nadir of their relationship. Holly Hunter’s portrayal of Melanie earned her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. While “Thirteen” is the story of Tracy, it’s also very much the story of Tracy and her mother. Stealing, oral sex, threesomes, huffing, strip-teasing, cutting, and abortion are certainly not things you want to experience with your mom when you’re thirteen (or ever, onscreen or off, for that matter). But don’t hesitate to check out the film any other day of the year (again, without mom) because though it’s occasionally cringe-worthy (the title says it all), it’s also downright hilarious (in a twisted sort of way). Russell’s semi-autobiographical film (no, not the incest part) about a mother who not only loves her teenage son, but loves her son. So you’d be well advised to steer clear of David O. Movies involving incest are never a good pick for family gatherings - especially not ones celebrating Mom. You probably know this by now, but we’re tipping you off just in case you don’t. If discussing her sagging tits with her son isn’t bizarre enough to make your viewing experience on Mother’s Day uncomfortable, then watching Moore getting into bed with both him and another young man will certainly do the trick. Julianne Moore, who continues to age quite gracefully, manages to use her unique beauty to make her role here as a charismatic wife and mother to pull off a mother-son relationship that is both hard to watch and hard to look away from. And though the film is a meaningful examination of the mother-son bond, the only way it’ll bring you and your own mother any closer is by showing you just how good you’ve really got it.Īs far as Oedipal complexes go, this one certainly ranks up there with the most irksome. The film chronicles Caouette’s upbringing at the hands of his schizophrenic mother, detailing his odd behavior and character traits and revealing scene by scene how much damage his family life has inflicted on his psyche. This documentary about the troubled life of Jonathan Caouette will not only shock you, it will shake you to your core.
