This won't be for everyone but I was totally engrossed in it. I loved the story and Rebecca Smart as Celia was perfect! I was going to give it 4 skulls but the more I think about it, this really is a GREAT movie, 5 skulls for Celia! No this movie is not what you are expecting but maybe that is a good thing?
it's sad that children pay for the stupidity of adults.
Thoroughly enjoyed this film.
A very good movie, although not really a horror film. It is an allegory that serves as a rebuke to sexism, groupthink, and submission to authority. The penultimate scene is quite shocking (don't read any spoilers!), and I thought the ending was very good as well. The actress playing Celia was excellent, and the film does a fine job of portraying the effects of cumulative trauma on the psyche, without ever getting too dark. Watch it and look for the symbolism in it, which still applies to society today.
It was okay 👌 for a movie
