    I think even in the beginning, when she spoke to the children, the two eldest kind of ignored her, they’ve been through he episodes over and over again and at this point they’re well over it. While the younger children were more accepting because younger children are impressionable and are easily forgiving, so seeing that she was happy in the moment, they were happy.

    Heartbreaking story of Michelle Blair & what she did to 2 if her children. Convinced that two of them molested the youngest she murdered them & put them in the freezer. Such a phenomenal film showing the devastation of a single mother living in poverty - and then her mental break & dissociative personality disorder that developed in order to be able to live with what she did. Very powerful, very moving, & heartbreaking to see.

Tell me that wasn't artistic representation of Stoni and Stephen found inside that freezer near the end of this film and that the woman herself wasn't Mitchelle Blaire!!!

    Woah, now that I know what the story ended up to be, I see the small details clear. The woman's house was exactly decorated like her "neighbors house." you can see the decorations from both kitchen counters to be the same, as other things as well. I think when she heard through the neighbors wall, she was listening to how bad of a mother she was, but in a different mind set. In the beginning she said the neighbor loved the kids in her own way, and kept defending the mother. Since they are the same people, she was convincing herself that she was a good mom. This film was so so so good, I hope the actress gets more gigs, she was phenomenal!
    edit: She also repeated "I do what I can to help." at the end, when she was doing her own hair! WOAH

That was honestly the most horrifying thing I've seen to date because it actually happens...it was like looking into a mirror.

    I thought this was brilliant - fantastic performance by the lead actress. The first intimation I had that all was not as it seemed was when the big “Love” decal disappeared from her wall. This only appeared when she was in her “fantasy house”. I wonder how many cases of child cruelty and neglect spring from circumstances like these? - people who want to be good parents, but either don’t know how (because lacking role models from their own childhood) or who are overwhelmed by circumstances and unable to cope? Very good, sensitive film.

    Mini theory: this is the mother making her mind live other lives.
    When she makes food for herself, her brain while in the let's say 'neighbor side' feels bad for the kids she drops it at the house. But in reality she's giving it to the kids. And when she's doing other task like combing her hair etc. she's actually doing something with the kids, aka combing their hairs. And when she knocks on the wall for the youngest one, that's actually her knocking on the door on how was the food.

    The fact that, when showing this to my mama, she said, "Yeah, what's so scary? This is how it is!!" is more horrifying than the film itself. It touches on poverty and being a single parent (ESPECIALLY when there's mental health involved) and all of the struggles that come with that... The subtle touches that hint at the twist towards the end (those little dolls) made me gasp in shock when I noticed them initially. And then the "nooooo no no..."

    She, and was their mother, she was just not herself, and they (children) did not give her rest, she put them in the freezer. And her consciousness was divided into two, so that she would not get away from what she had done. Her imagination divided the house into two parts, and the house in the film is shown as her consciousness. In the end, anyway, there were no two doors, the house was one and the entrance was one. That's why he was shown in the film, at the end of the mirrored, unified, the house, and the door. How much do not get away from the committed, the memory will return everything🇷🇺

    ive figured it out. she is skitzophrenic, due to truama of what she did to her kids. everything she sees is flashbacks, she basically made a new life for herself after she killed them to forget what she did since shes in denial. if you pay attention to the house, the other apartment has the exact same russian dolls on the bench, and the family tree on the wall. she wears a wig to make a new life for herself and act like nothing happened. she basically lives her normal life but without her kids. The song she sings to herself goes like, "she loved them kids, i do what i can(inaudable) i do what i can (inaudable). this is her manically singing to herself while still forgetting what she did. you also see dents and broken bits of her house, signs she mightve done something to the kids there as well.

Instead of seeing her doing the daughter's hair in the beginning we see her doing her own hair at the end while repeating the things she said in the beginning. The beginning is what she thought happened, the ending is what actually happened.
