Mad Mom

Ma Reum (Mad Mom, 2018) — watch online on iFILM. A French family comedy directed by Frédéric Quiring, starring Audrey Lamy as Fanny, a woman with a quiet, well-ordered life — until she learns her nine-year-old son Arthur is being bullied by three boys at school. Every day. Systematically.

The school isn't interested. So Fanny decides to handle it herself, which means going to war on a playground, with a grown adult's full capacity for scheming and very little patience left. The film runs 85 minutes and Lamy pitches it right — not a woman losing her mind, but a person who has simply decided that being reasonable isn't working.

Light, quick, and a bit meaner than you'd expect from the setup. Stream Ma Reum (2018) on iFILM.
