Joshua M 04/08/2022 A good slow-burn modern Irish folk tale. Excellent characterization. A little predictable if you’ve seen anything about changelings. Overall, well worth it.

See more caroline 03/27/2022 So much dialogue, not scary at all and it just made no sense !! See more Hugo S @Hugo_Shudder Jun 9 Char lives in a middle-class housing estate with her depressive mother and her mystical grandmother. One morning, the girl's mother mysteriously disappears and returns home a few days later, transformed into a different person. The strange occurrence unravels a shocking family secret involving sinister forces. "You Are Not My Mother" uses folk heritage as a metaphor to portray parental mental illness. The movie excels in its tense and unsettling atmosphere as it unfolds the generational trauma of a troubled family. An impressive addition to the catalogue of Irish horror films! See more Claudio C @Claudio666 04/14/2025 You Are Not My Mother (2021) Strange, but Interesting Irish Horror Movie (11,603 – 10 Apr 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) The teenage Charlotte “Char” Delaney (Hazel Doupe) lives with her mother Angela (Carolyn Bracken) and her grandmother Rita (Ingrid Craigie) in Dublin. Her uncle Aaron (Paul Reid) frequently visits Rita since she has a health problem. Char is an excellent student, bullied by her high-schoolmates Suzanne (Jordanne Jones), Kelly (Katie White) and Amanda (Florence Adebambo). One morning, Rita does not wake up Char on time and Angela, who is depressed, drives her daughter to school. She says that she cannot do this anymore, and when Char is returning home, she sees her mother’s car abandoned on the field and Angela disappears. Aaron and Rita report that Angela is missing to a police officer, but she says that the police have no resource to look for her. However, a few days later, Angela returns with a different personality, without depression and with a joyful behavior, near Halloween. Rita discloses a secret to Char, but the teenager does not believe it. What has happened to Angela? “You Are Not My Mother” (2021) is a strange, but interesting Irish horror movie. The plot has a weird beginning that is explained later, and the viewer is intrigued about what has happened to Angela. Char’s dysfunctional family is mysterious, and Rita is aware of happened to her daughter. The evil behavior of Kelly should have been punished in the end, but the director is not interested in pleasing the viewers. My vote is six.
