“u0026quot;Mother Maker Lover Takeru0026quot; starts with two women (no names, just referred to in the credits as u0026quot;Makeru0026quot; and u0026quot;Loveru0026quot;) in a loving relationship, and part of their conversation is that Makeru0026#39;s mother was a type of u0026quot;witch,u0026quot; which they both laugh about. But it turns out that Lover has some mental issues and commits suicide, leaving the Maker devastated. In her grief, she decides to try to raise her lover from the dead, with unexpected consequences…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWow, itu0026#39;s been a long time since an unknown movie blew me away like this one did. I strongly recommend avoiding the trailer since it gives away too much, and Iu0026#39;m not going to spoil it here. Just about everything about the movie works — technically, itu0026#39;s a marvel, with an ongoing effect that looks like it is in a movie with 10 times the budget. The plot plays with our expectations, it teases that itu0026#39;s going to go into a familiar direction and then steadfastly refuses to do so. The acting is exceptional, with the two lead actresses Birdie Shine and Emma-Kate Barry giving outstanding performances. Barry in particular is fantastic in her role, she is an actress to keep your eyes on. The only real issue I have is the ending which is just sort of… there…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI always love when a low budget flick blows me away. Highly recommended!”
