About This Movie

So, 'Mother Knows Best' is an interesting slice of 70s soft-core cinema. Directed by Ben Rose, it dives into a rather unconventional mother-daughter dynamic. Flame, played by Candy Samples, is this captivating hooker, and her relationship with Flower, portrayed by Suzanne Fields, is frankly quite complex. The pacing has that classic slow-burn vibe, giving you time to absorb the strange atmosphere. The film balances comedy and drama, which is kind of a delicate act, but it pulls it off in a way that feels both sincere and edgy. You can’t really overlook the performances; there's a rawness to them that feels genuine. Overall, it’s a distinct piece reflecting the era's curiosities about sexuality and family ties.
