Viewing Notes
Whenever I can, I like to go into a movie blind, knowing little to nothing about it. That’s how I went into Goodnight Mommy. The only thing I knew about it was that I’d read some positive tweets about it and that it is Australian. It turns out that I only knew half of what I thought I knew because the movie is AUSTRIAN. Those are very different places, producing very different types of genre films. Despite avoiding trailers (don’t get me wrong, I love a good trailer), synopses, and reviews, I’d still managed to build an expectation for the film that was shattered within the first few seconds of the opening credits. Austrian? Ummm… Hands of Orlac? Taxidermia? That’s all I’ve got. Needless to say, I had no idea what to expect.
