Mother Tongue (2023)
I'd name him Cambion!
Powerhouse duo Amelia Foxton and Glen Fraser deliver on a comedy horror mini-epic! A fast and furious affair with spills and thrills but not without an important message concerning equity and access, showing us the emotional and psychological struggles same sex couples endure when facing issues around love and conception. Skillfully handled when considering these important themes and yearnings couched in all the fabulous tropes and gore this genre has to offer. Good, manic fun, and never without its 'tongue' in cheek. Solid performances all round. Foxton (writer) and Chiara Gizzi give us intense, real performances as couple Jade and Alex while Stephen Hunter balances us nicely with Brian's blokey comic relief. Well done also to remaining cast and crew with dynamic cinematography by Tom Gleeson.
