The Newest HBO Film: Mommy Dead And Dearest

A Twisted Tale

Meet Dee Dee and Gypsy Rose Blanchard. They look like the perfect family who is always together and they pretty much look like they have it all. However, things are not always as they appear. Child abuse, mental illness, and forbidden love all plague the family. Their fairy tale story ended up being a living twisted nightmare.

The Hollywood Reporter describes it as, ” Mommy Dead And Dearest examines a case of such unlikely twists and turns that it would be nearly impossible to follow if not for director Erin Lee Carr’s fastidious and sound reporting. Through family and interviews, home videos, medical records, police interrogation footage…Mommy Dead And Dearest reveals an astonishing amount of access to a case more shocking and unnerving than the best fiction has to offer. This feels like a Gillian Flynn novel – sharp objects, specifically – but it’s real, and it’s worse.”
