TIFF 2014: Goodnight Mommy by Dirs. Severin Fiala & Veronika Franz (Trailer)

The relationship of two boys with their mother is challenged in this poignant psychological thriller. Goodnight Mommy is a film that seems to be built upon a set of filmic rules that will be knowingly and entirely overturned in the course of events.

Playful and unpredictable, bloodcurdling and ironic at the same time, the film by Franz and Fiala defines a new, personal genre, while toying with our expectations from beginning to end.
