Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Premiered at Sundance 2020, part of a wave of 'mom horror' exploring maternal rage through genre—think The Babadook but with actual plastic vomit.
The blocks are all primary colors—classic 'educational' toys that symbolize the performative parenting expected of middle-class mothers.
