In einem abgelegenen, idyllischen Haus am Waldrand genießen die Zwillingsbrüder Lukas und Elias die Sommerferien. Die beiden streunen zwischen Waldsee und Maisfeld umher und können die Ankunft ihrer Mutter kaum erwarten. Als sie jedoch nach einem Unfall aus dem Krankenhaus mit einbandagiertem Gesicht zurückkehrt, sind alle früheren Gewissheiten verschwunden. In der strengen Frau, die nun vor ihnen steht, können sie ihre Mutter kaum wiedererkennen. Schon bald werden sie den Zweifel nicht mehr los, dass eine Fremde die Kontrolle übernimmt. Während die Mutter versucht, den sich regenden Widerstand zu ersticken, machen sich die Kinder mit der ihnen gebotenen Gründlichkeit daran, die Wahrheit herauszufinden. Ein existentieller Kampf um Identität und Urvertrauen entspinnt sich. (Neue Visionen)

From the beginning, the transparent point suggests that the filmmakers will get to it through the clever psychological game of the central trio. However, the mistake is that the viewer gets a speechless flick where absolutely nothing works except the brotherly acting interplay, meaning that it amounts to a hundred minutes of boredom that culminates in an unintentional geyser of ridiculousness because the exploitation is absolutely off after there being zero motivations.

This comment contains hints of spoilers. Well made and very effective and unsettling in some details, but I had one major problem with it, I couldn’t figure out what the creators wanted me to think, because ten minutes in and everything as clear as the water in an Alpine lake. If their intention was to surprise and hide the twist, they failed in the direction, because in many scenes the twist screams “hey, I’m here!”, but on the other hand, if they wanted to play with the viewer’s expectations about similar horror films, then they failed in the script because the build-up towards the core mystery doesn’t work out and you get bored. That said, I think it’s effective in the last act, and the early reveal of the twist actually helps it.

"Goodbye, Mom" is a beautiful example of how horror movies can still surprise, that there is room for them to be disgusting, but also room for them to astonish their viewers. The twist ultimately may not be original, but in that moment, it can hit hard, and furthermore, the final outcome can be interpreted in another way. "Goodbye, Mom" is a film that definitely deserves attention, not only from horror fans.
