Amanda D @RT33199576 May 12 I haven't even finished it yet and I don't like it. The acting is poor, and the increasing insanity felt throughout the book is not present, significantly changing the entire plot. This book is about a woman devolving into psychosis, not her husband's control or feminism. The movie is a complete misrepresentation of the book.

I'd be anxious to paint that room. That was the funny part to me how accepting they were about it. I'd get the paint brush out. So the wallpaper was the strangest thing in the entire movie. A bit depressing 😭 See more Mom B @RT68392227 10/14/2023 Terrible acting! I'm just ten minutes into this movie and already want to turn it off! The acting is so stillted, it's horrible! They're just lobbing their lines back&forth at each other w.absolutely no emotion behind them whatsoever! Robots would emote better See more Cindy L @RT50805959 08/28/2022 Probably the most boring gothic horror film I have viewed. I fell asleep. See more 03/31/2022 Not sure what I expected from a gothic feminist horror film. Is A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night or Suspiria (both versions) also feminist horror? The Yellow Wallpaper intrigued me, and after I finished, I read the original text on which it's based. Both are great, but for different reasons. The film abides by the emotion and spirit of the novella but takes on modern interpretations. I can't say what because it might give parts away. The foreboding house and creepiness of the situation got under my skin, and I couldn't help but watch the ending in horror. Or maybe it was the tense soundtrack. I wished some scenes were shorter, but I think that of every movie I've watched (including Dune) in the last year, chalking that up to Covid isolation. But, oh hell, I think I'll watch it again with my wife. See more 03/31/2022 A stark and chilling account of mental illness that portrays the ways in which women of the 19th century were dismissed as hysterical when enduring postpartum depression. Staying true to the original story penned by Charlotte Perkins Gilman in 1890, the film features a riveting performance by lead actor, Alexandra Loreth (in her feature film debut), with stunning visual storytelling by director, Kevin Pontuti. A mood and atmosphere that lingers long after the credits have stopped rolling. See more Read all reviews
