Wicked Little Letters (2023)
The Humerous side of Misogyny
Like many other reviewers I watched the trailer and looked forward to another Olivia Coleman movie. After watching it however I have to say that the longer the movie went the angrier it made me. Perhaps the UK has grown and moved on from the attitudes displayed in the movie but as a 60 yo white male, husband ,and father of a daughter in Texas who is watching women become second hand citizens before my eyes in the US this movie struck me as insensitive and blind to the fact that these attitudes are far from being a relic of the past. Perhaps some people can laugh and find the humorous side of pretentious self righteousness but personally I find this appalling in the way it attempts to make light of an insultingly serious problem in the beliefs and attitudes by some people in the trends of our current culture.
Heir of the Witch (2023)
Just painful to try to watch
This has to be the absolute worst and dumbest movie I've ever tried to watch. The main character is self absorbed, has zero social skills, makes everyone around her feel awkward by just staying silent and feeling sorry for herself, and spends the entire movie moping around wondering why she can't relate to anything or anyone.
I've only rated a handful of movies but this one made me angrier and angrier the more I watched to the point that I had to jump on here and write a review just to warn anyone who sees the review to not waste their time. Seriously.
Don't get me wrong, I've seen a lot of bad movies that I just felt "meh, okay" about and moved on. But this pity party is just painful to watch and I sincerely hope the director/actress finds the help in real life that she truly and obviously needs.
