Trying to write a spoilerless review describing how amazing Amy Adams is in this film is hard. This a tour de force, a fearless, bare it all, not scared of being "ugly" breaththaking, chilling, essential, jaw on the floor, horror and respect inducing performance. I would recommend this film as a prescription for those who try to oversweeten motherhood, taking away the raw and sacred power it gives to women. It is a very healing film, and a very disturbing experience at the same time. It puts words and images on feelings that are almost impossible to convey. The only thing I regretted was the voice over, but I think it could help some viewers too.
