One house, two characters. Not much music and no special effects. THE BEST!! I would hate to be the one who could not get my friend/child to stay. I would show all the same emotion as the momma did. It's in a parents (well most) DNA to protect their young. I thought that this movie was not given the credit it should have. I found it on Amazon and bought it. I watch it once a year.
I agree with everything you said about the movie. I live in Brazil and I watched this movie when it was still on VHS many years ago, and I even got a copy of it and watched it over 10 times. I would love to find this movie with Brazilian Portuguese subtitles. Unfortunately, the film didn't get the recognition it deserves. Great movie, great actresses. Pardon my English.
I meant a gentleman seated next to me on a plane who had invested a lot of money into this movie. He told me about how excited he was to have Spacek and Bancroft performing in it. He also sent me the nicest note on " 'nIght Mother " letterhead and envelope. Amazing movie.
I saw this in the early 2000s. I was still a kid. And that was the movie that made me realize that actors aren't just people who lucked into easy jobs for millions of dollars. I couldn't image these two performers coming out of this and still being able to sleep soundly at night. like, we cry watching this shit. Imagine what it's like to read those lines again and again. I'm pretty sure that both women were both someone's child and someone's mother when they made this. Actors who take on these kinds of roles are just traumatized over and over and over again. Actors who work on this calibre of project deserve what they're paid. Probably more.
You are so right. Acting is very compromising to one’s soul because you have to give up yourself to become someone else it’s for sure traumatizing and not easy or fun. It’s rewarding I guess but I don’t think it’s worth it with all the pressure and expectations. We are the lucky ones ❤
"Jesse, how can I live here without you?" I have never been able to get that line out of my head because it resonates so much with me. I know how it feels to be stuck in a life that belongs to everyone but you. I don't doubt for one second that if I ever let ANYONE in on my plans to end my suffering they would respond in exactly the same way. It would immediately become about them and how selfish I was being for not agreeing to continue to suffer because they have so much to gain from their continued use of me.
I was 12 years old when I first saw this on HBO. Of course I thought it was sad. Now as an adult Ms. USA 2019 Cheslie Cryst death effected me and I thought about this movie and rented it today. May Ms. Cryst Esq rest in peace and give comfort to her family at this time. 🙏🏾
“One knife, one fork, one spoon & can opener & put them out where I can see em!!” “And I don’t wanna bunch of pots & pans cluttering up my cabinets that I can’t get down to them anyway!!”
I saw this many years ago just once, I'm a lot older now and could probably get a lot more out of it. I remember vaguely seeing it on VHS in the late 80s or early 90s.
It was a damn good movie and I agree it's very underrated movie. It was a different time. The people that put this movie together I don't think they did the movie to get big bucks or get a lot of awards. But to shine a light on how suicide is a problem and how others think they are alone. I understand that because for the past 9 years I've thought of killing myself as well. I don't do it because of my mom she lost her youngest brother to suicide. and I'm married we have issues with our marriage (who doesn't you know??) But we do love each other and he keeps me strong
@@sarahcline8488 Great to hear that you have turned a blind eye to suicide. I've been thrown under the bus many times myself but to commit suicide never. Instead look back at each of those setbacks and plan a revenge one at a time. This will keep you going with a goal(s) in mind.
Low budget, made-for-tv movie, that has so much emotional impact, and IS reflective of real life all around us.... such am amazing movie, so well done... but as any film that stayed true to itself without fitting into the ever so common Hollywood premier.. it isn't an easy movie to find. Thanks for posting the trailer!
This is probably far from what is normally considered a low-budget movie. And it was actually a feature film, not a TV movie. The play, 'night, Mother by Marsha Norman, from which the movie was adapted, was an enormous success on Broadway first. So I'm guessing that there was probably a pretty hefty fee alone just to acquire the film rights to make it. Also, Spacek and Bancroft, both being big Oscar-winning actresses, probably commanded handsome salaries for their performances in the film as well. So, just the money up front alone for the aforementioned things probably precluded it from being low-budget.
@@lonerunner89 Oh I didn't know...thank you for the update... I assumed it was because of the print quality of the recording. I wonder if a higher quality master is locked away. Bancroft is so awesome...Prisoner of Second Avenue; hilarious!
@@loveanimals6981 you are right about that... years ago when I last looked up 'Night Mother on YT, most of what I found was scenes from various play versions. Im not much into reading these days but im thinking the book would probably be really good
I may get some slack on what I am about to say... I find this movie comforting. I have been dealing with depression for most of my life. Major depressive disorder, anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, PTSD & seasonal effective disorder. I AM in treatment...I do take meds...I am in counseling...I have been suicidal, but it was just fleeting thoughts and I would NEVER do it. Personally, I find suicide a very selfish and cowards way out of your problems and I also feel it creates more problems for the people left behind. I would NEVER do that to my children, my family and my friends. I guess because I would never do this, maybe that's why I find this movie comforting...because, this woman, Jessie, knows exactly what she wants and how to go about doing it. My mind, at times, feels so jumbled and cluttered...I admire this character's clear thoughts. My OCD side appreciates how she goes about preparing to go thru with her plan. Like I said before, I know what I have said will rub some people the wrong way. We are all entitled to our opinions. I just simply wanted to state mine.
Lindsay, I respect your opinion on this issue. I am dealing with a lot of things right now as we speak. Things that I have never been confronted with, and some that I need to confront. My dad took his life in 2000,and I feel like there's no closer. I now suffer within myself with things that cause me to have thoughts of suicide, and when I saw this movie, I felt (and still do at times) so much like the character Cissy played. So Lindsay, thank you for your comments.
I hear what you’re saying. I hope you’re doing better now. I watched this on stage just a few hours ago and my teeth were chattering by the end of it. My friend and I had to help a girl from the fire escape because she was having an anxiety attack from the tension and the gunshot and it hit me how this is the very best of theater, but also... something completely other. I’m glad you can find comfort in it.
I’m glad you have family and friends that you would hurt if you left behind. Some are not so fortunate. At the end of the day, it’s an individual’s choice whether their life is worth living or not.
This was me back then, if it wasnt for a co worker i would have done the same thing, i saw a psychiatrist who helped me but many years I still get 😔 depressed. Its something that doesn't go away. My family didnt understand then and now my Husband doesn't understand either. I try to cope.
The play made its debut in 1983 and the script notes that it takes place in the present, so I've always pictured the story itself happening around autumn of 1982.
As a parent, a mother, i honestly can't say and don't know what i'd do, say, IF aything, if i was put in that position. I mean, i too, am clinically depressed also, but can't imagine taking my life. Never. Ever. Not for all the 💵 in this world. For NOTHING and for NOONE. I couldn't do it. I "CAN'T". If this were a child of mine, i really don't know what's to be done. I do know i would "try" to do" all that could be done, give it my all, my personal best.
Cuando entré a la sala de cine desconocía la trama. Fue impactante. Aunque no tuvo la promoción ni el éxito comercial estilado en Hollywood, es una de las mejores películas que he visto. Profundamente conmovedora y dramática, con dos señoras actrices al frente. .
Suicide is complex and not something you can catch, nor even something always done quickly, like with a gun. Many kill themselves slowly. This story (known as a play mostly to college educated people) is about an untreated person. Suicide plagues all levels in society. Worlds separate Kurt Cobaine from this fictional character. Her reasons in the film are hers. Resist censorship of ideas just because they bother you. I recommend this film for adults.
🤔 Let's not forget it was a play before a movie. I don't remember which actresses did the play. Kathy Bates,l think. I gotta Google it to refresh my memory. 🎭 Bancroft & Specek are excellent as usual.
I BATTLE DEPRESSION CONSTANTLEY, BUT I DONT THINK I COULD EVER KILL MYSELF, IVE THOUGHT ABOUT IT, I THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE IF I WASNT AROUND, BUT I GUESS IM TOO CHICKEN. THIS MOVIE AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A QUIRKY COMEDY, I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS A PLAY. BUT ABOUT 1/3 INTO IT I REALIZED HOW SERIOUS IT ACTUALLY WAS, AND AT THE VERY END OF THE MOVIE,,,,,IT JUST MADE MY HEART DROP TO MY STOMACHE,,,,THOUGH IT WAS VERY SAD!!!
This movie is VERY good, I have a hard time watching the end. The way she is screaming on the other side of the door. "I had no idea you felt so alone. Jesse PLEASE *BANG* That kills me everytime I hear it
@dariusmazaheri9305 I am not a parent, but if I did that, I know my mom would kill herself. I don't know if what she did was kind or mean. Especially because you know she will try everything she can to save her daughter's life
I have this DVD.I'll try to upload it with French subtitles.It might take a while-never even uploaded anything before.It's only fair though,a lot of French movies I love are on here with English subs.
I should have read the comments. I really thought the mom was going to be able to help. Let me save you the anguish. No the mom does not convince her out of it . She really does do it. I mean I highly dislike the movie. Not because the actors weren't good. They were terrific actually. I've never been moved by a movie, let alone cried. But oh boy did I for this one. I didn't like the movie because it showed love really isn't enough and made me think of the trauma she left her mom with.
Do you consider Jesse to be a sympathetic character? I understand the pain of depression and hopelessness and being exhausted by life, but I do think that what Jesse did here was a deliberately cruel, cold hearted, methodical torture of a mother that she terribly resented. She left her mother to live the rest of her life with what will be completely debilitating unrelenting guilt. This is a story of a murder suicide, not just a suicide.
Tengo este film guardado como un tesoro. Audio en inglés (no me gusta el doblaje). Busqué y busco subtítulos en español que sincronicen. Imposible! Tengo 7 versiones y ninguna concuerda. Me pregunto porqué, los que hacen subtítulos, no son precisos en los tiempos. Del film sólo tengo una versión, tal vez los subtítulos se hicieron para otra.
Yes, I feel she was too young too. Also, now that you mention it, she did seem over the top. Maybe they liked the contrast between the two women. Anyway, it was a very sad movie. Very sad. You should be a critic, you are good!
I couldn't stand Spacek's character in this movie. Not because she was mentally ill or that she no longer wanted to live. I hated her character because she wanted her suicide to be a spectacle. She wanted her death to hit everyone in the heart because she didn't have a heart herself. She cared more about life after death by setting up everything for her mother and selling and giving away things than she ever cared about life when she was alive. She had no sympathy for her mother whatsoever. If she cared the least (which she didn't) about her mother she wouldn't have talked about killing herself for a hour and half before doing it. The only thing worth watching about this movie was Anne Bancroft. She was Oscar material in this film. She did receive a Golden Globe nomination for her performance. This film is nothing but a black eye and I can understand why it would be considered taboo amongst award shows and movie critics. Regardless if they did give it a positive review.
I have to say I agree. Her mother seemed so nice. Yeah maybe she had her flaws but she was kind. If she really wanted to spare her pain she would've not told her what she was going to do.
Just finished watching this on netflix. What a disgusting glamorization of suicide as a viable option. I wonder how many people watched this movie before they checked out.
Ikr when she screams about not believing in hope and how she's tired of it all and feeling sad hurt and used. Being so goddam manipulative til the end. She was just self absorbed and wanted to hurt everyone she felt had hurt her and killing herself was the best way to do it . I bet Thelma did end up inviting Agnes to live with her because she couldn't stand being alone and so quiet. Wouldnt surprise me a bit...
how does no one else think this movie was hilarious ? this woman wasted her entire life with her mom. her mom was a psycho who never pushed her from the nest and in the end the entire thing was for nothing, daughter dead.
Saw this at my grandpas house on HBO in '86 or '87. I was 8. Pretty intense. Has stuck with me the past 30 years or so.
This is like a continuation of the movie Carrie. Just older without the kinetic power.
I watched when i was 10 Years old 💔💔
Same here, I always remember that final exchange between the two and then the shot....was around the same age and its always stuck with me.
Same
I was the same age. Same here.

Pardon my English.
Fantastic Comedy
Disgusting movie. This is how ideas spread. Rich actors influencing the mindless through facial gestures and sound disguised as emotion
I meant a gentleman seated next to me on a plane who had invested a lot of money into this movie. He told me about how excited he was to have Spacek and Bancroft performing in it. He also sent me the nicest note on " 'nIght Mother " letterhead and envelope. Amazing movie.
Man this movie hurt, the ending hurt my heart. Anne and Sissy were amazing 💔⚘
Such a good movie. Makes my stomach ache when I watch it. Anne Bancroft was the best.
U know it!!! She is why I watched the movie in the first place!
Kathy Bates really wanted this role but I'm glad Anne got it.
I saw this in the early 2000s. I was still a kid. And that was the movie that made me realize that actors aren't just people who lucked into easy jobs for millions of dollars. I couldn't image these two performers coming out of this and still being able to sleep soundly at night.

No era una película para un niño. No sé cómo te dejaron verla.

One of my favorites. I love Anne Bancroft.
I just ordered this from Amazon. First time I saw it was on Netflix...powerful movie. Wonderful actresses!
Yeah till this day, I think about this movie once in awhile 😢
one of my favorite movies of all time......
Mine too.
Mine too 😢

I know the feeling! Communication always helps with everyone. Lack of communication is the result of downfall!!!!
I feel this so deeply.
I wouldn't call it a "use"
If you love someone you're not "using" then

I have not watched the movie, but I have read the play. It makes your heart swell, and swell, and pause, and then implode within your guts at last!
“One knife, one fork, one spoon & can opener & put them out where I can see em!!” “And I don’t wanna bunch of pots & pans cluttering up my cabinets that I can’t get down to them anyway!!”
I just straightened that drawer!
such a powerful movie and great performances...

Um filme tão triste, tão bem interpretado, tão intenso, tão cheio de desespero daquela pobre mãe... 😥 Jamais esquecerei este filme.
Very underrated movie! Movie critics shunned it. Probably because it wasn't a cheesy Disney/Pixar flick that would make big $$.

This movie feels like a continuation of her Carrie character if she had never died and had no telepathic power.
i remember seeing the second half of this movie, its hard to describe really it was sad, but for some reason it made me want to see "Carrie".again.
My mother would never be this nice to me. Ever.
Depression makes her choice totally understandable.
The play made its debut in 1983 and the script notes that it takes place in the present, so I've always pictured the story itself happening around autumn of 1982.

Clinically depressed. Sounds like u want attention and live to annoying your kid
This movie is the definition of cinema. No Hollywood, no crap, just two actresses and a story.
Good movie..watched it several times…wish theyd put it on Netflix or Prime. Who’s here in December 2024
Sissy Spacek/Sandy Dennis. 2 powerhouse actresses! ‘Night Mother a shattering drama!!

I hope Netflix has this film.
I remember watching this movie on tv. I wanted my mother to understand how horrible depression is. She never did.
That's really useful thanks :) I'm directing a section of the play for university and was confused!

This movie bothered me so much, haunted me for years.

Yes it is a terrible trailer
I agree with you,it makes it look like some sappy cliched Lifetime original movie.
Extraordinary

You are very welcome. Anytime you want to critique a movie or movie star, run it by me. I love things like this.
"creepy carrie creepy carrie" EIEIEI
I had no idea this was made into a movie.
GRAN PELÍCULA, HE VISTO AVANCES DE LA OBRA EN TEATRO, IMPOSIBLE IGUALAR A ESTAS ACTRICES, ACTRICES SIN ESTRIDENCIAS INNECESARIAS
Esta peli hace... No sé 30 años. Era un canal USA me parece que tenia por nombre. Inpactante 😢
I didn’t even know what I was looking at when I first saw this movie. I really don’t remember it.
Por que no la bajan, he querido volver a verla desde hace mucho tiempo.
My cousin jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge. I wonder as he was falling into the water, did he panic in remorse?
The trailer voice was like they were talking about THE SANDLOT
Tengo este film guardado como un tesoro. Audio en inglés (no me gusta el doblaje). Busqué y busco subtítulos en español que sincronicen. Imposible! Tengo 7 versiones y ninguna concuerda.
Me pregunto porqué, los que hacen subtítulos, no son precisos en los tiempos. Del film sólo tengo una versión, tal vez los subtítulos se hicieron para otra.
I have to play it again and see.The DVD has subtitle options,so I don't see why a major language like French would be available.
Can somebody help me with what year this is set in?
1982..
VERY, VERY UNDER RATED. ACTORS ARE FANTASTIC. WHEN WE STUDY THANATOLOGY, (DEATH) WE EXPLORE LIFE.
Trailers back then were so stupid and cheesy! this movie is a masterpiece but this trailer makes it look like an ordinary family thing
just watched on criterion channel…wow
When Sissy said Mama all I hear is Carrie
Yes, I feel she was too young too. Also, now that you mention it, she did seem over the top. Maybe they liked the contrast between the two women. Anyway, it was a very sad movie. Very sad. You should be a critic, you are good!

Why did you think Bancroft was miscast?
Pretty sure Hollywood didn't sensationalize this movie because of its outcome. Even though they can glorify sadistical murders.
I couldn't stand Spacek's character in this movie. Not because she was mentally ill or that she no longer wanted to live. I hated her character because she wanted her suicide to be a spectacle. She wanted her death to hit everyone in the heart because she didn't have a heart herself. She cared more about life after death by setting up everything for her mother and selling and giving away things than she ever cared about life when she was alive.

This film is nothing but a black eye and I can understand why it would be considered taboo amongst award shows and movie critics. Regardless if they did give it a positive review.
I have to say I agree. Her mother seemed so nice. Yeah maybe she had her flaws but she was kind.
If she really wanted to spare her pain she would've not told her what she was going to do.
that answer is nope and this is how I live now
ALGUIEN LA TIENE EN ESPAÑOL
It's not a good movie, imo. Excellent acting, but very depressing and hopeless attitude. Hope no suicidal people watch this.
This is my future
Man, Jessie was so freaking selfish to me in this film. God bless her poor mother, damn.

I wouldn’t exactly call this a family drama.
this isn't Carrie 🎥
Just finished watching this on netflix. What a disgusting glamorization of suicide as a viable option. I wonder how many people watched this movie before they checked out.
Ikr when she screams about not believing in hope and how she's tired of it all and feeling sad hurt and used. Being so goddam manipulative til the end. She was just self absorbed and wanted to hurt everyone she felt had hurt her and killing herself was the best way to do it . I bet Thelma did end up inviting Agnes to live with her because she couldn't stand being alone and so quiet. Wouldnt surprise me a bit...
yes she does kill herself at the end.
Probably not appropriate for children
how does no one else think this movie was hilarious ? this woman wasted her entire life with her mom. her mom was a psycho who never pushed her from the nest and in the end the entire thing was for nothing, daughter dead.
