Mammal (2016)

Mammal: Directed by Rebecca Daly. With Barry Keoghan, Rachel Griffiths, Michael McElhatton, Joanne Crawford. Portrait of a contemporary woman living in Dublin. Margaret handles in a very sensitive way- how difficult it is for a mother to grieve the death of a child, even if they are estranged.

“This quickly became one of my all time favorite movies.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s a quiet movie. An intimate movie. A movie that truly feels like youu0026#39;re there in the scenes with them no matter whatu0026#39;s going on. A movie that knows exactly what a close up is and the best way to use it to add something to the scene – and knows when to use a wide shot too. A movie that knows that silence is just as loud and effective as sound. Rebecca Daly is one of my favorite directors of all time now. Iu0026#39;ve never seen anyone present intimacy and feelings and emotions the way she did with this movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAstonishing is what it is. I loved every minute and will certainly be watching again for my own enjoyment and to study the ins and outs of this intense work of art.”
