The Front Room (2024) Movie Review | Well That Was Weird... SPOILERS

Sadly there are SO many men who saddle their significant others with the care for their elderly family members. I’ve heard the story time and time again as a healthcare worker and personally experienced similar with my uncles leaving me to take care of their mother because they won’t and know I could NEVER leave her to rot.

[@brianallison9437]

he didnt saddle her with his step mother. he had to work he was trying to get a promotion to take care of them. brandis charater wanted the easy money so despite all the times he said he didnt want her there she made him do it. i agree with your statement. it doesnt apply to the movie

[@banquetoftheleviathan1404]

it's not the childs job to take care of the parent nor can they afford to really, most millennials will never get to retire and things are going to be even harder for gen z.

[@essiespooks]

⁠@@brianallison9437um? towards the end of the movie he started to accept the stepmother being there even if she was emotionally abusive in his childhood and present. He started to take her every word over Belinda’s because he still wanted to be the provider (along with not being bothered) and kept throwing that Belinda wanted the stepmother there in her face yet switched up on her? He didn’t do nearly as much as Belinda did (while she was pregnant and healing from giving birth mind you) when he was around. Yes he had to work since Belinda quit but let’s not act like most of it wasn’t placed on his wife.

[@JGrobby]

My biggest problem with this movie was how it all resulted in nothing. The ending was so abrupt, simple, and kind of made the whole journey null and void. I was in the small camp of actually being excited for this movie because I love Brandy (and to be fair I think she is the best part.) But they set up so many different things with this stepmother (cult, supernatural, lying to make Brandy look evil, racism) that get tossed out almost as fast as they introduce the ideas. Such a strange movie.

[@PossessedbyHorror]

YES like there were no consequences for any part of the story??

[@tomleonard830]

They would escalate things and then just back away from that thread and start escalating a different thread. The most interesting of these is Solange trying to undermine her son's relationship with Brandy. That is a plot thread that I most would have liked to have seen explored.

[@CaulkMongler]

It was a strange movie for sure but I sorta liked it in that regard. But def see how it had a lot of things going on only to just not really do anything with it. Too many questions left unanswered.

[@rhea-vdb]

Yes no consequences, because in the end it is just another grandma trying to push her own beliefs and her generation style of raising people. No curse, no nothing, just a crazy lady. It's about breaking the cycle, at least that's my take on it.

Oddly enough, vertical c sections actually are a thing! They can be used for quicker access/ for preterm babies. (I had an emergency c section for my preterm baby 3 months ago and they did the typical horizontal c section incision so I’m not sure how common the vertical incision is used now.)

[@PossessedbyHorror]

Interesting!

[@CharletteG]

Yeap my mom had an emergency c section over and 40 years ago and the incision is vertical.

[@JennJenn_86]

Vertical used to be the norm from what I understand but now not so much. Depends on the doctor and the issue causing the c section was what I was told when I needed one 16 years ago

[@reneenoriega4524]

Yep, my mama has had two of those. I didn't even know the standard procedure was to do them horizontally till I was like, 16? maybe

[@11Juliet]

@@PossessedbyHorror my best friend also had one 3 years ago! her c-section was already likely going to be vertical because the baby was breech and the placenta was lower down than normal and apparently those individually are both reasons that vertical can be preferable, but on top of that she ended up needing an emergency c-section and they said they would have done it that way regardless of the previous factors because vertical incisions allow for faster delivery!

[@swampytl]

one thing i will say about making bad decisions in horror movies is that we need to keep in mind that the characters don’t know they’re in a horror. in real life we never expect something bad to happen to us so we’re not as careful as we would be if we knew we were about to be in a horror film.

[@bees.857]

I'm not a horror fan for this reason. I cannot remove myself from the stupidity and it drives me insane. I'm rational to a fault but it's saved me from a lot of possibly catastrophic situations. 'No, I'm not gonna do that. It feels off' is something I say almost daily lmao

[@CaulkMongler]

Well the odd thing is, I understood their decisions. And I always say, we don’t all make the same sort of decisions when we’re stressed. They needed money, they saw the only answer to their problem. Once you give a skilled manipulator an inch, they’ve already gone a mile.

[@renechavez914]

The actress who played the old lady did a great job and was entertaining . Very scary for people that fear, having to take of their elderly relatives.

[@madz2013]

I had a similar struggle trying to see this movie! My local theater didn't even play it, I had to go to the next town over, and even there I was the ONLY person in the theater on Saturday opening weekend

[@johngetbent]

I love an empty theatre. I go at weird times to avoid crowds and I have never heard of a whole screening being cancelled, this evening there was 1 other person in there. Also I feel like Beetlejuice is like the Goonies or Ghostbusters or something, if you grew up with it, it is a classic ,if not, it is "Meh". Anyway, I actually liked The Front Room. It had so many things I love in general (small cast, limited timeline, contained sets, reasonable runtime) I also love good character acting and the Solange character was great in my opinion. I like how every other character was living in her world, the fact that Belinda immediately accepts this person into their life and the weird church sh-tuff gave her even more power as a character and the Husband saying he should just run away as soon as he sees her ,estranged for years, -but money- was a good way to give her more power as well. I am glad people are finding this movie gross and disturbing and it is getting strong reactions. For a movie that is borderline religious horror in a year full of religious horror I feel like this one had a unique take on the concept.

[@meninonas8159]

I didn’t find it believable either, particularly from the wife’s pov. From the way the husband spoke about it, he was under contract so he wouldn’t necessarily qualify for paternal leave. If she knew that, why would she accept the mother in law so close to giving birth, why would she quit her job the way she did? Why would she force the mother in law to move in when he was so clearly uncomfortable with it? I feel like there were a lot of choices made that were just stupid.

[@jenuineamazing7776]

I guess I'm one of the few who actually found it believable. I think the reason why the husband wouldn't take paternity to leave is because he said he was close to getting his work promotion. As for Belinda, a lot of people quit their job when they feel like they are being mistreated and undervalued. So, Belinda quitting wasn't surprising, but, I also agree that the way she quit was. She didn't even discuss it with her husband before quitting because now they had to rely on one source of income with a baby on the way! Belinda knew they needed the money, so she willingly invited Solange into their home. Even with Norman's stories, Belinda didn't expect Solange to really be that bad. As a healthcare worker, the bodily fluid didn't get to me, nor did Solange's attitude. After a while, you get used to elderly people and their crap-literally & figuratively. I've walked into patients' rooms and there's poop smeared EVERYWHERE while the patient is yelling racial slurs at you. Also, it's not uncommon to see pregnant mothers forced to put up with their in-laws, it happens. Sadly, this is an actual reality for some people.

[@meninonas8159]

@@jenuineamazing7776 I think that for me it’s the pregnancy that gets me. I haven’t been married nor am I a woman but I feel like being close to giving birth is a big enough event that I would want to keep my job until we’re both more financially stable. Plus, I would assume she would know that she would be mostly in charge of the in law while being in charge of the child so why wouldn’t that be a point of discussion? When she discussed later on needing help with the in-law, it seemed like she was asking to get help with a nanny or an in home nurse? This would be more affordable if they both had a job. In addition, why would she quit knowing the husband is overwhelmed at work? Why put the financial pressure on him and then further financial pressure by asking for someone to come in and help? Like, it just seemed like the worst time to quit, even if she had a very legitimate reason to do so. We don’t live in a country where we have a big enough safety net where someone can just quit Willy nilly

[@potnoodlegirl]

It was a very strange experience and made me think of Mother! too. Particularly the scene where she did a weird contortion and wailed at the bottom of the stairs while Belinda watched.

[@ash_speaker]

The vertical incision is used primarily when there will be a hysterectomy. This can happen while giving birth in certain types of emergency deliveries. My aunt had the zipper scar with my cousin and I just got one of my very own for a hysterectomy.

[@757Princess]

The movie ended with her being pregnant again with twins. I thought they alluded to her having a hysterectomy with the vertical incision.

[@ash_speaker]

@@757Princess Thanks for that insight. Yeah, that's what it made me think of as well.

[@mastatema]

My husband got zero paternity leave. He was only able to be home with me the first 3 days... And two of those were when we were in the hospital. Unfortunately not everyone has paternity leave us or is able to take off for free. If my husband didn't get paid we wouldn't have been able to pay any of our bills.

[@jensoto8012]

I saw this with my husband and we both really enjoyed this one, not what I was expecting either. I think in today's world of sequels and remakes this was a nice change. I also looked for the short story to read as I wanted to see if it clarified the supernatural elements but as you said it's not available. For me I think this plays into the duality of life, birth and death and how similiar they actual are and as a caregiver and/or mom how quickly you deal with the issues poop and spit up (lol) for examples. Maybe I am looking too deep into it but I liked this one alot. She infuriated me too with some of her choices aka not running upstairs with baby after coming home. Kathryn Hunter was amazing as Solange! Also thats is one of my biggest rants about today's theaters as Beetlejuice was on 7 screens out of the 12 at my theater so no I don't care about your box office numbers as you didn't give other movies a chance to succeed.

[@taiburnett9725]

[@blaah9999]

Sooooo PAID paternity and even maternity leave is dependent on state and employer regulations. Most companies in the US only offer PAID paternity leave from your own PTO/sick/vacation time so if you don’t have any or only a little bit of this time left for the year you won’t get paid for the time off but you can still take it off as FMLA. Washington state has paid FMLA that is separate from your job where you get paid from the state vs using your own employee PTO. Its very nice. It makes sense that they don’t have a caregiver for memaw, aside from the will, if they were struggling financially because mediCARE (which is the 65+ medical insurance through the state) does not pay for any kind of long term caregivers or long term living facilities like assisted living or nursing homes. MediCAID (healthcare for those who are low/no income) does pay for these long term care services but only if you qualify. This issue with elderly that need more care but may make too much for medicaid leaves a huge huge gap in care for elderly and family members get stuck picking up the pieces and gaps in care. Its incredibly sad and something I’ve personally dealt with and had to see patients go through during my healthcare career. 😢

[@tomleonard830]

I didn't get the impression that he was unable to take time off. I got the impression that he CHOSE to go back to work because he was working a career defining case that would have gotten him a promotion.

For the most part, the movie was funny in parts. The rest of the film... the characters were spineless and unlikable with nothing really going on. If you like seeing an old woman crap herself repeatedly and make her daughter-in-law clean it, then this is up your alley. I just thought there would be more to it with Solange having powers, but it went nowhere. The Egger Brothers kind of were trying to copy Robert's style of weirdness, but they lacked substance with what made The VVitch work.

[@tomleonard830]

There was maybe one other person in the theater with me on the opening night screening. And because Beetlejuice had a cool tin, I was there with a large popcorn. Since I had to watch a good chunk of the movie with my hand over my eyes because of the scatalogical scenes combined with the ensuing loss of appetite, I went home with well over half of the popcorn left. I was expecting something closer to Get Out, where there is the psychological thriller aspect, but there is an underlying supernatural element. Instead I got Bad Granma with a horror soundtrack. Overall, not a great experience.

Haven’t read the short story either, but looking at a summary on Wikipedia, looks like Solange was some homeless woman they offered to stay with them at their house after being inspired by a passage from Isaiah about taking in the homeless.

You're HILARIUS!!! Shit, poop, kaka, defication, lol... it all STINKS!! I'm with you!

So! I do have an answer for the vertical C section scar (I have not had any children but I am a Nurse!)! While VERY rare, vertical c sections do still happen in a very emergency situation often by a surgeon who is not used to doing c sections and is just trying to save baby and mom’s life asap!! Anyway, the more you know!❤

I enjoyed this movie and I thought it was a HUGE mis-market as a horror! This was damn near dark comedy, but they were trying to do the serious social commentary. Solange was HILARIOUS! OMG. Everyone else was cool in their roles. I didn’t know it was a short story, but that tracks, given how much that was missing and would’ve helped fill out the film.

Before the 90s they used to split moms down the middle. My mom has that scar down her stomach. I'm so glad they changed it... Also glad they stopped encouraging c-sections

[@boo4136]

My mom actually has a vertical scar from her first 3 C-sections. Granted all 3 of my siblings were born in Mexico so idk if that’s normal over there or not. But when she came to America and had me they had to cut vertical since she has 3 vertical C-sections before me.

Fun fact, that old lady was Cleopatra's faithful helper Charmion in Rome. Beautiful portrayal.

I was eating my popcorn when she threw up a bit and I laughed. I was like lovely. 😅 i kept eating though. I have a strong stomach.

[@aychelleff]

I feel like Brandy may have just done the best with what she was given here… this whole character sounds insane to me lol I’m not sure if there’s a way to play it that doesn’t ride the line of being either chronically unconcerned or just silly because COME ON

[@CaulkMongler]

As someone who worked in assisted living facilities for a handful of years, and also lives in the south… this wasn’t a movie, it was a *documentary* - that’s the horror of it I think!

[@jenuineamazing7776]

Agreed! This movie didnt scare me. Solange isn't that bad compared to the things Ive seen in healthcare.

[@tammi3121]

A few bits made me proper laugh + rewind tho... 😂😂

Actually, I live in NJ and did not get paternity leave. I took a week off but we had to plan to put money aside for it.

So, I was looking forward to this since 2022 when they first announced it because I am a HUGE Brandy fan. I enjoyed the movie for the cinematography, acting, and the writing was pretty good. However, I would not call this a horror movie. You can tell they tried to add elements to make it horror, but it’s just not. There’s also not much at all to the story. Like nothing actually happens except Brandy’s character gets fed up and then the end happens. I’m still upset a24 didn’t promote it like they do some of their other films, but I also get why. I feel like this could have been a really good short film and the movies shows the difficulty of taking a short story and making it a feature length release. Still, I plan to see it at least one more time in theatres and I could see it doing well on streaming or maybe even digital.

Ha. I did see this film two days ago. I would have given it a 3/5, but no higher, for some of the very points you mentioned. The poop and pee parts were meant to disturb you. Your comment about others not doing some of these things on the film, well I have learned in life, that people do things that do not make sense. Once you think "no one is like that" or "no one would do that," well one might be surprised. Many types of folks walking the planet, no matter how silly their reactions seem to you. Not many would have tolerated what "Belinder" did, nor should they. I felt the whole movie was sped up some, and I doubted "Belinder" would even feel up to the things she had to do after a brand new infant, so that was the not a realistic part to me. But I was reasonably entertained, and the film certainly could make a person uncomfortable. I thought the film was better than Night Swim, The Watchers, and Alien Romulus (I hate to pick on it, but AR didn't need to be made.) I did find your review entertaining and I laughed a couple of times during it. Thanks for that.

Me and my lady went to see this movie. I have to say, we loved it because it was so FUNNY😂😂😂😂😂😂 ..definetly an unintentional comedy. This is the most fun I had in a movie since Deadpool x Wolverine

[@AAGJLMOSY]

You're not alone on Beetlejuice. I LOVED it as a child, couldn't care less now.

[@Ntnoneever]

I loved the campesque commitment of performing this very tedious experience of a young married couple who are both pushovers somewhat in contrast to the fervor and passive aggressive dominance of Kathryn’s character. I think this will move into cult classic status in time, but the last like 15/20 minutes? Definitely needed a rewrite or three 😭

[@tomleonard830]

The Solange character is definitely tilting it to cult classic - she is a bit over the top. But the scatalogical stuff is going to be tough to sit through unless that is your thing.
