Mother's Milk

I saw "Mother's Milk" at the North West Ohio Film Festival last week. After reading about the film I thought I was going to see a horror film of the likes of "hostel" or something, about a psycho torturing a woman. Boy was I wrong. This was an eerie yet almost beautiful film with 2 mind blowing central performances.

It's the story of a disturbed man who captures women to observe his fetish of breast feeding. Sounds pretty rough huh? Well after about 15 minute you settle into the feel of the film. It is at times uncomfortable but when you think it's going to go one way - it veers the other way. The central performance of Claude is the reason the film works. There are times during the film where you actually feel for his character. The actor Casey Chapman humanizes the role, pretty remarkable performance. And he is matched by Mackenzie Wiggelsworth who is also fantastic as the woman he kidnaps.

After listening to the director and actors at the Q&A I will be keeping my eye out for this film. I think it could hit it big. See if you can.
