Sanctuary: A Witch's Tale (2024)
Everyone in this town is stupid
There is a lot about this that makes for an interesting concept but every character just makes the absolute worst or dumbest possible choice at every turn. It just kept making me frustrated as I was watching and I wish it had done more to live up to the initial premise. The magic also looks really low budget and unrealistic and makes it feel even more cheesy than it should for the actual plot line (rape, murder, prejudice, infidelity, etc.). The acting isn't bad except the script feels kind of dated so some lines come across as really lame sounding. I'm going to finish it because I'm curious to see if it sticks the landing but tbh I think this is a missed opportunity.
Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)
Another story where the real plot gets lost
I really wish the story would have been from the POV of Mollie and her sisters or at least someone from the Osage tribe. It felt really gross to have almost the entire movie centered around the murderers and get so little insight into what anyone else was thinking. It's also overly long and I felt myself getting confused at how much time was passing by because there were no clear markers of how long there had been between different events (other than the baby being born). I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone and think it's a shame that there was such a big missed opportunity here. Read the book instead.
