Review of The Cry

The Cry (I) (2018)
7/10
Engaging at the start but then.....

Warning: Spoilers
Jenna Coleman is amazing and carries the movie. At least her face does as there are so many closeups.

The series itself could have been halved. The flashbacks started to irritate and there were many plot holes, not least of which was the medicine mix-up in similar bottles and no labels.

Post partum depression is rarely portrayed in mothers so this was a major plus and it was portrayed well.

The culprit was clearly telegraphed from the outset but the twists and turns held my interest to the end which was more of a whimper than a bang.

Some marvelous bit parts, too numerous to mention here.

But the whole thing needed some massive editing to prune it down to maybe 2 hours.

And what's the old adage again? You can't build your happiness on someone else's unhappiness.

7/10 Worth a watch if nothing else on the old streamer.
