Ma

[Ma is] an antihero of the highest caliber...The catharsis was glorious.

The movie itself is fairly ordinary... [But] when [Octavia Spencer] goes bananas, she pulls the rip-cord. She has all kinds of fun.

Ma boasts an impressively against-type performance from Octavia Spencer but not much else that is either truly scary or emotionally engaging.

Unfortunately, with the campy script and the plot line ripped straight from Hulu's The Act-by the third act of Ma, the movie literally implodes in on itself leaving the audience wondering, wtf they just watched.

There's a good movie trapped somewhere in Tate Taylor's Ma. That's the frustrating part.

The Oscar-winning actress (Octavia Spencer) is the only reason to see "Ma," and she's clearly having a grand old campy time playing Sue Ann.

...there is only so much you can pull from what can best be described as run-of-the-mill teen stock characters.

Episode 39: Ma / The Souvenir / Lenny / Cabaret

The good kind of trash.

There's still some entertainment to be found at Ma's house, but not enough.
