Jack B @RT91601424 05/14/2023 If you find mental illness amusing or entertaining, this might just be a winner for you. But this viewer found the whole movie filled with strange and annoying characters. Jane Campion, inexplicably, thrills most professional critics. I am just your typical middle class audience member who prefers his movies to make sense. I think it is telling that Sweetie grossed less than $1 million worldwide.

It's an effectively uncomfortable journey as the two young women try to cobble together some semblance of the way they envision their lives – one seeking fame as a singer while the other attempts to establish her perception of domesticity. It's compelling and powerful stuff, thanks primarily to Campion's ability, even early on in her impressive career, to compose shots that are visually interesting and almost always haunting.

Lemon is particularily good as the titular character. See more Read all reviews
