My review · Reviewed 12/24/2024

I loved the first 30 minutes of this movie, and the last 5 minutes. Everything outside of that involved Mikey Madison losing her mind on someone, and that really became exhausting after a while. I think the movie may have worked better if the parents weren't involved and the movie was about her and the kid, but we've seen that done so many times before.
