Weve got all the information you need.

What is Ma about?

The film stars Spencer as the title character, a loner whose real name is Sue Ann – who becomes involved with a group of teenagers who persuade her to buy alcohol for them.

She subsequently invites them to use her basement for their parties and other antics and joins their clique – but things take an unpleasant turn when Ma becomes obsessed with her new friends, as her troubled past also comes to light.
