Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Mom's Friend 2020 actually is?
Just got out of Mom's Friend 2020 and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

The cinematography in Mom's Friend 2020 is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Director clearly thought Mom's Friend 2020 was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Mom's Friend 2020?
Look, I wanted to love Mom's Friend 2020. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
