Review of The Cry

The Cry (I) (2018)
6/10
Watchable but uneven
3 February 2019
Jenna Coleman is very good but overall the acting is uneven. The husband recites his lines flatly, and Asher Keddie isn't much better. The daughter is amateurish also, which is more understandable. The story commands interest, but the rapidly switching timeframes become rather irritating. This sort of manipulative technique is overused to try and whip up interest when the material is a bit weak. I'll keep watching but the flaws in the production will limit my engagement. 4 episodes? I'm thinking 2 would be appropriate. More indication of padding.
