Just a creative B-movie I watched this movie and came looking for everyone else's opinions cause I kinda expected huge backlash, since there's a radical change in pacing at some point of the movie which I just knew would rub people the wrong way.
I, however, did not expect the weird backlash it got for the being a movie about a woman. It's kinda sad cause I, for one, felt the actual plot of the movie was overall good, it's just a female equivalent of a power fantasy, which is not bad at all. If anything, the creators were very tamed about it, and I liked that.
Sure there are "female boss" moments, but they are earned, you can't say that often with modern movies. I just just knew there was either a female director or solo writer just by looking at the themes about femininity, and that's not bad at all.
All and all, I'm not praising this movie for the sake of it, I really like this more experimental cinema and I'm a sucker for WW2 era aesthetics. But this is not at all a movie for everyone. I for one think Chloe isn't a very good actress, I just like her and her beauty moved me to watch the movie, which, again, I don't regret at all. Nontheless, there's a a lot screen time spent on her alone and the director didn't use her well (I blame the director cause her dramatic acting in suspiria is so much better or maybe she felt like she shouldn't try that hard for a B movie). The other awful aspect about this movie is how over the top and plain stupid the action was. I coulda given this movie a 9 very easily, but the fake crying and way the writers keep putting the main character in dangerous situation and deus ex machina her out of them is frankly offending.
