‘The Front Room’ review: All bile and no substance

56% Informative

The Front Room is a wild, nausea-inducing ride that is not so much good as it is effective.

As the mother-in-law from hell, Kathryn Hunter is devilishly good.

The movie hinges on that wonderfully unhinged performance from Hunter .

Other than a sickly hue and some fun canted-angle shots, there's not a lot of style here.

The Front Room hits cinemas Sept. 6 . It's a good enough bad time, worth it for Hunter 's performance alone if you can stomach the rest of the film.

The movie itself often feels like a grueling ordeal, as you wonder exactly what shade and type of ooze will show up next.
