Oddly reminiscent of 'Serial Mom'?


am only about 30 minutes into the movie but it reminds me a lot so far of John Water's Serial Mom in some way

I always feels like John Waters movies have an undercurrent of dirtiness. Miss Meadows seemed sweet with a sprinkling of crazy. Even though she was totally in the wrong by killing people without a trial, the audience still roots for her to get away with her vigilantism.



No two persons ever watch the same movie.

Although I get the Serial Mom feeling, oddly enough, this felt kind of like a female version of Batman for me, if Batman killed the bad guys and got knocked up by Commissioner Gordon.

Don't try to cash in love, that check will always bounce.

Haha yes!

That's what I was thinking from the description. But in the end quite different as Serial Mom killed people for reasons that were quite trivial. Miss Meadows doesn't.

It reminded me of the novel "Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine" -- her prim-and-proper oddness and her conversations with her mother.
