Review of Violet

Violet (II) (2021)
5/10
Decent Story, but poor execution
28 December 2021
Justine Bateman presented a decent story idea, but her weak execution limited its appeal. The voice overs and the writing of the main character's thoughts on screen distracted rather than added to the story. These weren't necessary to drive the story and came across as over the top and told information that either was evident or didn't need to be shared for a compelling story. I appreciate Justine Bateman's efforts, but she needs to trust her writing and directing abilities more. She suffers from the same insecurities as her main character. The story of Violet would have worked better if more subtle. Olivia Munn is a good lead actress, Justine should have let her sell the story, not the gimmicks.
