The Other Mother (TV Movie 2017). 1h 26m | TV-14

“u0026quot; The other motheru0026quot; tells the tale of a recently divorced manu0026#39;s relationship with a new trophy wife and the secret she is hiding. A large part of the story is how the stepmother manipulates to have the husband and stepdaughter to herself and tries to break the bond between the real mother and daughter / husband. The main flaw with the film is the motive / secret behind the stepmother is not really fleshed out properly or examined. ( unlike the stepfather 1987) you actually donu0026#39;t even realise the motivations till quite late. On a positive- the first half delivers a fair amount of tension -and not knowing the stepmothers game makes it curious. Ultimately it falls short and there is a derivative ending. The acting is ok and for a b grade LMN type movie itu0026#39;s not the worst of its kind. The daughter ( Kennedy) is possibly the most promising performance.”
