Slow Burn Gothic Poetry
15 August 2020
Worth a sitting if you love Gothic literature. If this movie had shaved 30-45 minutes off, it would have been better. The movie feels like a very long, long, long poem. Beautifully shot and written, however the movie struggles to fill the runtime of a feature film. The main character tells us she just turned 28 but won't see 29. I was frustrated with the movie for only showing the first and last few days of her time in the house. There was nearly a year in between but we don't know anything about it. This is my biggest complaint. She seems to sense something is off before we cut to several months later and she seems fine. Then she feels like something is off again... I don't understand why there needed to be a time jump really. There are some questions left unanswered, but they don't really need answered. This isn't a think-piece. This is just a beautiful movie that overstayed it's welcome a bit.
