The Dissolve

It's so relentlessly upbeat and deliberately artificial that it admits no cynicism or judgment, and it makes the film daringly weird.

Rated: 3.5

The earnestness brings the movie from mildly irritating pastiche status to actively awful, and that is all she wrote.

Rated: 1/4

May we be excused, "Miss Meadows"?

Tonally awkward and a bit too underwhelming to fully succeed as the black comedy cum violent thriller character study it is trying to be.

Rated: 2.5/5

It's a shame the odd-for-oddball's sake of a plot had to overshadow Holmes' charming performance, for this could've been the role that kicked her relatively safe career into gear.

Miss Meadows is an interesting character study of someone just trying to make the world a better place through murder, and questioning whether her methods may actually be the cause of the world's decay.

This movie was great. I personally loved watching it, and I think it deserves better recognition. If you’re into offbeat dramas and some dry humor (Pearl fans, take note), you’ll likely enjoy this.

I would like to boink Miss Meadows. Repeatedly. And with vigor.

Overall I really enjoyed the setup! A traumatized woman turned serial killer vigilante. I think the campy vibe made it a really easy watch, but the love story put me off a little. I don’t believe a story “has” to pick a lane; but if I knew a husband would kickstart her healing, I probably wouldn’t have watched. His whole arc was “I can fix her” and it was disheartening. Beautiful music, costume, acting, and camera work though!

I think a lot of the criticism comes from people who are not the target audience for this. It's not meant to be a deep psychological thriller, it's a campy, but suspenseful murder filled romance. If you like movies like "the love witch" I believe you'll enjoy this. They have very similar vibes. I personally loved it, the style is cute in a retro way, the set design gives Ms. Meadows's home a flower filled juxtaposition to the rest of the neighborhood, and the reveal at the end is done so well. The story slightly dips into the moral relativity of Ms. Meadows, but ultimately doesn't make a deeper analysis nor does it really take a specific stance. I do not believe it is meant to though, and the lack of a particular position (in my opinion) leaves the audience to form their own conclusions on if she really is "just like him" and "crazy".

It's a slow movie but it builds up, just have patience with it. That's how a lot of phycolagical movies are. Not bad.
