Brandy in The Front Room
You gotta love the in-laws. Or then again, maybe you don't. That's a lesson Brandy Norwood's Belinda squares with as a besieged expectant mother in Max Eggers and Sam Eggers' new A24 horror entry The Front Room. The film sees Belinda's material bliss disrupted when her elderly mother-in-law Solange comes to stay with her as she prepares to give birth.
Belinda and Solange Square Off Over Who Gets To Be Matriarch The Front Room certainly provides sufficient context to understand the central conflict between Belinda and Solange. The central reason why Norman didn't initially want to allow Solange to live with the couple is because of his estrangement due to her strict, arguably abusive, parenting style as stepmother.
Solange begins with a feigned, sometimes passive-aggressive respect for Belinda's place as the family's maternal figure. After settling in, the subtle criticisms mount: Solange criticizes Belinda's cooking, the presence of Goddess figures and absence of Christian iconography, the baby's lack of feeding, even the baby's name, each in a domineering spirit. "She wants to replace me," Belinda acknowledges at one point in the film.
After the baby's birth, Belinda is left with a gnarly, crooked, vertical C-section scar. The next morning, it seems slightly improved. The rest of the supposed manifestations of powers also follow the child's birth, such as late-night appearances of Solange as a Virgin Mary figure, holding the new baby . Are these actual manifestations real? At times, the sleep-deprived Belinda comes to believe in them.
