MA (NETFLIX REVIEW) 2019

April 6, 2025

Welcome to a brand-new year! As we gradually transition out of the euphoria of the Christmas season and its lineup of romantic and festive movies, it’s time to return to reality with something darker—MA.

Sue Ann, portrayed brilliantly by Octavia Spencer, is a reserved African-American woman who works as a veterinary assistant. She lives a seemingly quiet life and keeps her daughter isolated, forbidding her from going out. Beneath her calm exterior lies a woman haunted by a traumatic childhood, filled with bitterness and a burning desire for revenge against those who bullied her during her teenage years.
Decades later, Sue Ann finds a way to confront her past by targeting not only her former tormentors but also their children. She befriends a group of teenagers, including the kids of Luke and Erica, and offers them a place to party in her basement despite their underage status. The teens quickly grow comfortable with her, but one fateful night, when they are drunk and vulnerable, Sue Ann makes her move, revealing the darkness within. To uncover the full extent of Sue Ann’s actions and the reasons behind her vengeful spree, you’ll have to watch this gripping film.

MA is a 99-minute psychological horror-thriller that delves into trauma, revenge, and its devastating consequences. Prepare yourself for a chilling and unsettling ride into the mind of a woman consumed by her past.
