Tucker H Interesting way of describing where the necessity of faith and believing in an afterlife due to death such as the Irish famine clash with reason and other life concepts. Deep conflict between releasing someone of a trauma through death in times of not believing in a second choice finely depicted. Cineasticly and Performance of the actors impressive, confronting the viewers through breaking the fourth wall to enable an own reflection interesting and the end relieving. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Matthew S Florence Pugh made this film special. The stroy was very interesting and kept you wondering. Film felt like it could be shorter. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/29/24 Full Review Alec B I'm not convinced that the fourth wall breaking works at all but it's a small part of the movie which is mostly effective at selling its conflict between faith and reason. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/24 Full Review elana k The run time feels longer than it really is (the somber mood was a bit sleep inducing), but even when I drifted off and missed a few moments here and there, Florence Pugh was still there, keeping it all together until the end. Nothing about the narrative feels familiar even if the themes may be. But I must add: completely unnecessary meta- references to the film in the opening and closing scenes- it really does nothing, in fact it took away from immersive like quality of the film, but that seems to be the style these days. The thought-provoking ending was satisfying enough for it to warrant such a high score from me. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/22/24 Full Review Karine F I read the book and was excited to see the movie to fill in some missing details, but the movie not only is way different from the original book, it's also terrible. The book doesn't have this dark narrative. Also, Anna is the sweetest girl, and the relationship between William and Lib is more complex than depicted in the movie. The story moves so fast that we don't get the chance to know Lib or Anna properly. Many invented scenes, such as William supposedly having lived in the village, Lib forbidding the parents from seeing the girl (when, in fact, it was Anna who wanted her space from her mother), and the force-feeding (in the book, Lib explains why she wouldn't do it), felt unnecessary. And what's up with those bizarre scenes of Lib almost having orgasms while drinking her own blood? That was totally fabricated. They changed so many facts and the characters themselves… I understand that some adaptations are needed for the screen, but they made it so terrible that I'm glad I read the book first; otherwise, I would have had a completely wrong idea about the story. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Marie C Very poor. Strongly recommend to not bother wasting your time watching. Everyone who said otherwise is simply lying to themselves and you. The underwhelming end matched the prolonged film. So many unanswered questions.
