maternal trauma

Laugier channels physical and psychological suffering into unflinching examinations of faith and human endurance.

Her films like 'You Were Never Really Here' and 'Ratcatcher' explore fractured maternal relationships and psychological trauma with fragmented, deeply introspective storytelling.

Films such as 'Hereditary' and 'Midsommar' examine the cyclical nature of maternal trauma, grief, and family dysfunction through visceral, haunting narratives.
