What You'll Like My Mother Is About

Francesca, a pregnant widow living in Los Angeles, travels to a small Minnesota town to meet the mother-in-law and the family she has never met. What she gets is an icy reception, and then a blizzard shuts the two of them into the same house while she starts noticing things about her husband's family that she cannot account for. The fear here comes not from anything supernatural but from a house that cannot be left and from not knowing what the person opposite you knows. The snow is the film's most effective element, since outside means both escape and death. Patty Duke folds the vulnerability of pregnancy into the performance, with Rosemary Murphy as the mother-in-law. The secrets are left unspoiled.
