She Will (2021)
7/10
Contemplative film of paranoia
7 November 2022
Contemplative film of paranoia expertly led by Alice Krige and Kota Eberhardt. Upon illness and surgery, the famous actress (Krige) seeks isolation in a retreat. Upon arriving, the site is occupied by some group (cult?) seemingly led by a figure, comic but serious, and their actions seem innocuous, but the film casts doubt in mysterious scenes. The actress starts dreaming or hallucinating with aspects of these falling into reality. Upon further plotting, there is backstory that suggests some unspoken act that is beginning to be heard, with the actress at the center. The director Charlotte Colbert keeps the presentation just vague enough through the surrealistic elements and scenes so that when the denouement arrives, the story feels complete inside the film with progression afterward possible for the characters. The subtle elements as well allow for the resolution without a hammer strike.
