Apartheid era South Africa casts shadows over this gutsy psychological thriller, stirring comparisons to Jordan Peele’s satirical smash, Get Out.
“It’s not that Mama doesn’t like this house — this house doesn’t like Mama.”
Tsidi’s mother Mavis has lived and worked in the same wealthy Cape Town homestead most of Tsidi’s life. When her beloved grandmother dies, Tsidi must push past resentments of a childhood spent silhouetted in a white family – and move her daughter and herself in with her mother – in the house “Madam” owns.
Decades of dysfunctional race relations are compressed and twisted to eerie effect in Jenna Cato Bass's clever, culturally revealing haunting of allegorical cinema.
In English and Xhosa with English subtitles.
