The movie left soo much on the table. Should have done better connecting what happened in Ma's high school days with the present.

The over all movie was really good, but the ending felt rushed.

The movie itself was okay. Not too fond of the ending or flow of the storyline.

Movie was just underwhelming to say the least. Had such high hopes for the movie but just fell flat. Pacing was slow. Had a few funny moments. Nothing worth rewatching.

I really was hoping to love this movie. I knew it could go either way. Octavia Spencer was good in her role but she could only do what the script called for. Thing that were supposed to be terrifying actually had me laughing...out loud...literally. It was entertaining. …

It's not anything that was so great you have to see it in the theatre. Direct to DVD or Redbox would be a better home for this film.

Octavia Spencer is what drew me to this movie. I've never seen her play a role like this so I went in knowing I'd be chuckling. It was entertaining, I just wish the background story would've been more developed.

This movie might be rated R but it is for teenagers.

This could've been so much better. The lady that plays Ma is such a good a actress but this movie sucked.

The movie was boring and slow. I thought she would have killed more people and it ended dumb. thumbs down for me.

It was "ok"-I feel that they rushed the end-there was some stuff that could have been left out in order to have a better flow...

It wasn’t as scary as I thought it was going to be. The trailer for it, when showing the scary parts, was only from a tiny bit of the movie. I was kinda of disappointed :/ although the cast was good and the story line was a little interesting, but I wouldn’t watch it again

The story begins slow, but keeps your attention with several great twist. Octavia Spencer is amazing in this lead role and definitely keeps you wondering what will happen next.

Other than some comedy parts in the movies, the best part of the movies was the last 5 min of the movie, I’m just saying.

It was good but it got to the point where we could predict where it was going and what was about to happen. I would watch it again and I would recommend it.

Ultimately, to borrow a phrase from writer Michele Wallace, Ma is too wistfully hegemonic to truly work.

Ma is a much more enjoyable ride than the even more preposterous β€œGreta,” which got lost in undeserved self-seriousness.

Ma is, at heart, an overly familiar story of terrorized teens, albeit one that manages to find a few new twists to that tired trope.
