Jessica Chastain looks like Joan Jett — short black hair, tattooed, a rock ‘n’ roller who hangs up her studded belt to become surrogate mother to a pair of deeply traumatized little girls.
An effectively spooky ghost story with Guillermo del Toro’s imprimatur (he’s executive producer), Mama is every adoptive parent’s nightmare: what if the children you bring home start eating moths and toilet paper, and won’t come out from under the bed? And when they do, it’s only to do something hurtful?
