MA (2019) Visual Review

David the Bruce • May 30, 2019

A Unique Review Using Graphic Visuals. Enjoy!

Everybody’s welcome at Ma’s. But good luck getting home safe. Oscar® winner Octavia Spencer stars as Sue Ann, a loner who keeps to herself in her quiet Ohio town. One day, she is asked by Maggie, a new teenager in town (Diana Silvers, Glass), to buy some booze for her and her friends, and Sue Ann sees the chance to make some unsuspecting, if younger, friends of her own. She offers the kids the chance to avoid drinking and driving by hanging out in the basement of her home. But there are some house rules: One of the kids has to stay sober. Don’t curse. Never go upstairs. And call her “Ma.” But as Ma’s hospitality starts to curdle into obsession, what began as a teenage dream turns into a terrorizing nightmare, and Ma’s place goes from the best place in town to the worst place on earth.

VISUAL REVIEW

Here is my visual review done in an original visual style with several graphics that work you through the film.

Mary Wollstonecraft once said, “No man chooses evil because it's evil. He only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks.” And that pretty much sums up the situation of Ma’s victims. So how do we overcome? That is the power of story and films like this. We need to know. And that is why we buy tickets for movies such as this.
