Clock

Clock (2023) was recently added to Hulu. The storyline follows an almost forty year old woman, Ella, who is happily married, wildly successful but feels guilty for not wanting/having children. Her husband sets Ella up with a therapist who starts her on a progressive treatment. Ella begins seeing things and having delusional thoughts. Will Ella be able to come to peace with her mindset or lose her mind trying to conform to society?

This movie is writren and directed by Alexis Jacknow, in her major motion picture debut, and stars Dianna Agron (The Family), Melora Hardin (17 Again), Grace Porter (Spoiler Alert), Jay Ali (Carnival Row) and Saul Rubinek (Unforgiven).

The storyline, characters and premise were all very realistic and were delivered in an authentic way. The acting was good and the phobia sequences felt believable. The tall girl, her makeup and look, was well done and the horror elements get better and better as the plot unfolds until the end, which was better than I anticipated. The entire ending with the husband and therapist were rewarding.

Overall, this has a realistic storyline, takes a bit to get going but ends very well. I would score this a 6/10 and recommend seeing it once.
