Hello,
I’m Rosalind,
…. a 48-year-old single mom with a passion for movies and TV shows, a love for (my) tattoos, my kiddos, and a home base right here in sunny (and sometimes unbearably, humid) Florida.
Forget the stuffy reviews and complicated critiques. Here at “Reel Review Mom” , you’ll get real takes on what’s worth watching, straight from my living room to yours. We’ll dive into everything from the latest blockbusters and streaming sensations to hidden gems and nostalgic favorites.
My goal is simple: to help you decide what to watch next, whether you’re looking for a laugh after a long day, a thrilling escape, or just some quality screen time.
It’s about honest opinions, relatable experiences, and maybe even a little bit about balancing life as a mom with a serious love for the silver screen.
Last, but not least, don’t be a stranger! I want to hear from you… If you have some amazing movie/TV show find & want to share it (e.g. you can’t keep the joy and excitement to yourself), then reach out.
So grab your favorite snack, perhaps a glass of Cabernet, kick back, and let’s find your next binge!
