JULIA GARNER AND AMBYR CHILDERS AS SISTERS

So the film we’re talking about here is We Are What We Are. It is a melancholy
masterpiece that went unnoticed. Given that it had a very different subject
matter: cannibalism. Did your heart just skip a beat? Because there’s more to
it. Garner

Rose Parker in the movie. She’s someone from a family of religious extremists
who practice cannibalism as a holy rite.

Her mother Emma, her father Frank, younger brother Rory, and elder sister Iris
(Ambyr Childers), Rose lives in a little town nestled away in the hills of
upstate New York. After their mother’s passing, Rose and Iris, who are both
battling their family’s perverse beliefs, take over the tradition of cooking the
family’s meals.



Despite its subject, the film isn’t obscene. In addition to telling the history
of cannibalism in one family, the movie also serves as a reflection on the
perils of religious fanaticism. However, the movie contains some graphic
violence. We Are What We Are isn’t hesitant to have viewers watch, as Rose and
Iris carry out their mother’s most disgusting tasks. Although the film has all
the makings of an independent hit, it is also overtly frightening.
