CRixor1972 Rented this unknown film last night suffering from yet another night of insomnia. This is the story of a man who keeps a woman chained in his basement for the sole purpose of using her lactating breasts to feed his fetish. Sounds like pretty family far huh? I jest.Well the problem is, she is not lactating, and he made a mistake. When capturing her she was jogging along with her sisters child and he is left not knowing what to do with his new victim. What follows could be described as a cat and mouse game between two lost souls. One a man scarred from childhood and the other a college graduate facing real life problems and that dreaded "what next" phase. This material has been covered similarly in other films (the more recent "Chained" has many similar moments) however it's never really been handled this way.Its a quiet film. One that may be overlooked by some based on its slow movement. The director doesn't seemed interested in making any bold statements or showing off for an audience. Here is a movie that basically takes place in one room between two characters. There's no real outlandish violence, no one scene that could be considered the ultimate climax - yet there is a sense of overwhelming dread the entire run time. It's an uneasy experience for sure. Due to the performance of the lead actor, Casey Chapman, the biggest sense of unease is that you have sympathy for his character throughout. His is a performance like many of the classic movie villains (Norman Bates really comes to mind). Like Anthony Perkins, Chapman has created a character that all at once you feel sorry for and are scared by. He is tender, personable, pleasant, attractive, yet all at once someone you would not want to be alone in a room with. If anything at all ties the film together and makes it a must-see it's this leading performance. It does take some twists and turns I didn't expect, and it showcases solid direction from a new director. I would highly recommend it.

sukkisandhu All of the exaggerated over the top nonsense reviews of this film made me laugh...These people must have worked on or know the people who were responsible for making this "thing" as i cant see any other reason for such high ratings.I made my account to do my very own honest and real reviews after reading so many idiotic reviews on terrible movies over and over on this site.Do not waste your time with this movie, the simplest and quickest way to sum it up in one word is (Rubbish)End of

lauragynco I saw "Mothers Milk" last week via the SoCal film festival. I really knew nothing about it going in, as it was a part of a ticket package I bought. I decided last minute to watch it, as I had time to kill - and I am glad I made the move. The story is pretty disturbing. It's about a man named Claude who kidnaps women and traps them in his basement in order to fill his childhood fetish.The movie basically takes place in one room. I could see some people thinking the movie is a bit slow moving, but there is a big payoff. It's really all about the actor who plays Claude (Casey Chapman). This is a performance that could hold up with anything being buzzed about currently for awards this season. He takes a character that is so disturbing, so disgusting, and so unlikeable and makes him sympathetic. There are points in the movie where I caught myself disagreeing with his victim at points, which shocked me as a woman.Glad that I attend smaller festivals, as you can find hidden gems like this that are just as good (if not better) than what you will see in one of the bigger festivals in the US. I will keep my eye out for films from this writer and director (Edward Pionke) as well.

alexpolcyn I didn't know what expect when I entered this movie, the name alone alluded to something I don't want to think about. However, I was enthralled from the very first shot.GREAT performances, GREAT direction with a Hitchcock horror/suspense vibe. It stayed with me for days... even when I didn't want it to. I was lucky to catch this film at a private screening and I hope to god it gets distributed so more people can see this original piece, if you stumble across it check it out... you won't be disappointed.It's unbelievable and awe-inspiring that many of the cast and crew are new to the game, bravo to all.
