Blossom (2023) by Harel Goldstein is a movie that brings up the subject of women and abuses but with a distinct patriarchal take of the historical narrative used.
The acting is regrettable, especially by Norée Victoria and Blue Kimble, who both seem to be amateurs. There is no chemistry between the actors and they both deliver a lackluster and unconvincing performance. Due to their inexperience, the scenes are poorly executed and have little depth.
The soundtrack is the other key disappointing factor in the movie. Not only is the score terribly produced but it also lacks any melodic value or appreciation. The themes fail to bring any emotion or feeling to the scenes and make the movie feel like an outdated voice over.
Blossom is also a very slow and tedious movie; the plot feels extremely drawn out as there is no exciting twists or turns. We can predict various outcomes as the movie progresses and the predictability makes it difficult to remain interested in what is going on.
The bottom line is that Blossom is a forgettable movie; there is nothing special about it nor anything that allows us to really appreciate what it is trying to say. Furthermore, the acting, music, plot and direction take away dramatically from the filmmaking quality. If you're looking to watch an emotional, progressive and made with care movie, Blossom isn't it. It feels out of date, poorly produced, horribly written and lacks any emotional impact. Avoid this movie.
