  Mama 2013

  ★★½ Watched by Jeff Light 13 Oct 2021

  2-minute Review:

  I am not usually someone whose opinions of a film change much on re-watching, but I fully admit that might be the case for this one. My great enjoyment of the film may have been in part due to pretty low expectations. I fully thought this would be a mediocre, overhyped movie sold by the hair/makeup/costume transformations of its lead characters. While those transformations ARE amazing, and the performances do back them up, there is depth to the…
