My Mistress (2014/Film Movement DVD)


Picture: B Sound: C Extras: C Main Program: C+



After 16-year-old Charlie (Harrison Gilbertson) catches his mother is having an affair with his father's best friend (and his father commits suicide because of it), Charlie is not having a good day. He then meets and turns to the mysterious woman who lives down the street from him, Maggie (Emmanuelle Beart) who offers him a way/outlet to express his pain ...a way to turn his pain into pleasure. As Maggie show him the sensual world of dominatrix and BDSM, their relationship gets closer, but what are they? Friends? Lovers? Dominance and Submissive?


In Stephen Lance's My Mistress (2014), Charlie is angry at his drunk, unfaithful mother and blames her for the death of his father. He meets his mysterious (and much older) neighbor and discovers she is a Dominatrix for customers with unique fetishes and fantasies. He soon finds himself admiring, even attracted to Maggie and she become his surrogate mother/lover. He seeks to understand, experience and learn how to turn pain in to pleasure, but Maggie herself is damaged goods and has secret, after nearly losing her son in a car accident while being high on drugs, she longs and loves her son, but hates and doesn't trust herself to be with her son on her own. Charlie then become alike a surrogate son to Maggie and he endears himself to her when he tells her he loves her, needs her and doesn't care what her past is. Together, they explore the boundaries of their relationship.


Mr. Grey from Fifty Shades of Grey would of loved these two characters. It shows the world of BDSM (why is it, it is the rich people who get into BDSM?) between a young angry boy and a traumatized woman who is old enough to be his mother, they help each other (literally) lick their wounds in their hearts and bodies.


The anamorphically enhanced 2.35 X 1 image looks good because of its simplicity making it through the format well enough, but the lossy Dolby Digital sound is very dialogue-based and quiet often, so only expect so much. Extras include making of the film, interviews and trailers.
