What critics compared Serial Mom to
And when it comes to female vengeance films, “Kill Bill,” “Hard Candy,” “Extremities” and — one of my all-time favorites — “Serial Mom” and their so-called heroines Uma Thurman, Ellen Page, Farrah Fawcett and Kathleen Turner did it much better with more believability.
A leap of faith is needed to forgive the sheer inscrutability of Stevens's tall, blond stranger, the almost Serial Mom-ish lack of patience that doesn't quite jibe with the meticulousness that his master plan would seem to necessitate, even if his appeal to the members of the Peterson clan, as surrogate brother and son, is clearly and immediately understood.
