Gerry W Part camp, part genuine horror, I was both moved and unsettled by Darlin' and look forward to seeing more from this filmmaker. I hadn't seen The Woman or Offspring which came before this film but I could still fully understand what was happening. I've since gone back to watch the prequels and enjoyed them both. This series switches it up with each film and I like that. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/07/23 Full Review Jeffrey P It has good focus and interesting character transformations to watch. The end felt rushed. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/25/23 Full Review michael p I thought the movie was good. The ending made no sense to me. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/31/22 Full Review Audience Member I really enjoyed this movie and appreciated the combination of dark humor, social commentary, and horror--similar in style to Ken Russell. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member So lets talk Darlin, how does it compare to The Woman (the previous 'chapter' in this 'series' . Well lets just say that its sometimes unfair to compare one film to another, but I guess when it comes to follow up films, remakes, etc, we all do judge films whether we want to or not. It is very safe to say though that Darlin was in safe hands and is one of my favourite films of the year and whilst I will always have a super fond place in my heart for the Lucky McKee directed 2011 film, I love Darlin and watched it twice in the same week. The film works beautifully as a standalone film, but also works just as well if you have seen the other films based on the Jack Ketchum world (Offspring, and The Woman) You can also watch them in any order you wish as I had seen The Woman before I even knew the film Offspring even existed. Pollyanna has directed a wonderful film and it certainly doesn't show that this is her feature film directing debut, she has worked with some of the best and im sure has learned many skills along the way and it shows in Darlin, the film is beautiful, and whilst it does have a very dark tone, it does let you breathe now and again with some light hearted moments that will put a smile on your face, before plunging you back into the world of The Woman and Darlin. But now I am back at the place I was in 2012, wanting more Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review harri k The narrative stumbles around, unable to handle the thematically ambitious story. Occasionally, comedic elements (sometimes unintentional) go overboard, breaking immersion. On the other hand, the whole mess is original and intriguing as such.
