Glass House: The Good Mother

About This Movie

So, 'Glass House: The Good Mother' really leans into that eerie, claustrophobic vibe that keeps you on edge. It’s about Eve and Raymond Goode, who adopt siblings Ethan and Abby after a tragedy. Abby’s struggle to fit into this new mansion setting is palpable, and the tension builds with Eve’s increasingly unhinged behavior. The performances are solid, especially as you see Abby trying to navigate this maze of emotional turmoil. The pacing has its lulls, but that just adds to the overall unsettling atmosphere. The practical effects aren’t overdone, but they enhance the psychological tension. It’s one of those films where the house itself feels like a character, and you can’t help but feel the weight of the choices made by the adults in this story.
