Review of A Colony

A Colony (2018)
3/10
Teenage angst. More of it. Enough already.
23 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Hand held camera follows poor little Mylia around in close-up after close-up so there can be no doubt that she is depressed, glum, lost.

We get it. Anything else?

The script is pedestrian. I'm French Canadian and often could not make out the conversations, even the ones added as voice overs in post production, so had to read the subtitles. No acting required. No directing either.

Just follow poor Mylia around. Parties where kids jump up and down.

Dark and out of focus. Editing choppy and missing continuity.

Mom & Dad have no interaction whatever. Little 7-year old sister Camille upstages Mylia throughout. At the family dinner, mom suddenly announces that they're splitting up. The End.
