Trying too hard to be "Requiem for a Dream"
20 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This movie was distracting and over-edited. It felt as though it was trying really hard to be gritty and impactful like Requiem for a Dream but instead came across as overdone and at times boring. The whole lead up to the main actress seeing a Dr to tell him she may be possibly be pregnant was dramatic and so was the sequence of her smoking a cigarette and waiting for the pregnancy test results. Cutting back and forth to grainy footage of despair and back to the actual scene lost its effect in the first 5 minutes of the movie for me. Also, in the "normal" scenes it at times feels like you're watching a Lifetime movie.

It's definitely something different and offers to showcase what is the human condition, but maybe less could be more?
