Do Nothing. Stay and Fight. Leave. Quick Review: This film was quite a good surprise and it got me very well with the emotional scenes and performances. The story of this film was well executed and it's nice to see different women on screen trying to fight for one cause. What really made me confused was its setting. It's set in the 2010s but it feels weird to see modern technology in a period-setting town. I just found out that there are places like this that still exist around the united states. Not just here but internationally as well. It felt so weird to magical realism with its setting but that got me quite distracted. The performances in the film were very great and two of them were just outstanding. Ben Wishaw and Jessie Buckley gave powerful and emotional performances that it made me tear up. The ending really got me well and you can sense the trouble of these women's lives and the struggles they have been through. The film almost takes place in one location which is the farm and the pacing of this film was pretty good. It started off strong but it was slow mid-way through and the pacing was a little bit fast in the end. There are slow moments that were really great and it gave me time to get to know these characters' struggles and relationships. I really liked Ben Wishaw and Rooney Mara's chemistry in this film and it added so much depth to the whole situation. The cinematography is what grabbed my attention. The coloring is so bleak and it's presented in a much wider aspect ratio. But I will say that the cinematography fits this kind of film but that drew my attention a lot. I will still say this film felt "Oscar-bait" throughout the film but I would say the cast is very great and few actors were snubbed from the Oscars. This was a very well-made film with great performances, interesting cinematography, and a story that will be discussed around its themes of today's culture and society. Very bleak for this type of film. Now Playing in Theaters. Vizeit Score: "A-" (Share this review with your film friends and on social media! Thank you for your continue support.) Copyright © 2023.
