I just watched dwd heheheh (not many spoilers ig):

#this is like my opinionor review or whatever #lets start with things I liked #Florence Pugh. #she was on point on delivering the tone of her character and getting the plot on its track #I think she stood out as an actress and preformer more than a character #personally I think the characters didn't have much space or a dynamic to flow with each other so I think her performance stood out bc she #really really pulled the tone and the feeling the whole movie was trying to convert #I also like the cinematography I think Matthew Libatique as a name speaks for itself #the coldness and creepiness was well delivered by Chris Pine I liked the character didnt get much screen time oe scenes but yeah #I was throughly focused on him when there was a scene #even the dynamic between Frank and Alice was well persecuted #yeah that's about it #now the things that I wasn't quite sure about or didn't like #I think the movie didnt serve its genre aka psychological thrillers #literally not even 15 min and you already figure out in a grand picture #there is no creepiness no edginess or space for you as a viewer to have your doubts or questions or to feel the unsettling atmosphere the #characters are in #and I think that's the problem when it came to dwd.... as a viewer objectively I felt like I already knew more than the characters from #like first 15min or so #which is something you just dont want.... bc you want the distress and suspiciousness and the questionning to grow simultaneously #and hand by hand between the characters and the audience #to have that psychological thrilling atmosphere #I think its also due to the fact that themes explored in the movie are just vague? and just textbook summary? yk men are in control #women at homes etc etc etc #I feel like the plot idea is everywhere and its trying to be socially aware but its just not as socially aware as it pretends to be #it does leave you a space to theorize or to add or to explore and expand etc etc I think its plain from a theme standing point #it is feminist yeah okay ofc but predictable unspecified #not as radical as they made it sound #and I think that's also played on the reception of the movie #TO BE CONTINUED
