The intended audience should be parents
Line of Events
A woman puts her career on hold to be a stay-at-home mom, but soon her domesticity takes a surreal turn.. It was originally meant to be released straight to streaming on Hulu, but strong reception from test screenings led Searchlight Pictures to instead, give it a wide theatrical release.. Referred to in Saturday Night Live: Jean Smart/Jelly Roll (2024). Riding Carousel” Performed by Alexander McCabeWritten by Alexander McCabe. The movie is generally good, but I was expecting it to be darker and more creepy rather than comedic.
She really commits to this role
Although I am not a parent at this time, I can fully relate to the themes presented. If you have questions about motherhood and female rage, you might find this film insightful; some dialogues from the characters are very clear. Marielle Heller is definitely a talented director who can adapt a seemingly impossible book into a successful movie. This is the best performance we’ve seen from her so far. It’s a career-defining performance child, brave and funny.
This movie seems to be divisive so far
The depth of her performance is evident in the intricate details of her facial expressions, which beautifully convey her anger, joy and pain. Adams embodies the role of a mother with an authenticity that resonates deeply, likely stemming from her own experiences as a real-life mother. This personal connection elevates her performance, making it feel both relatable and authentic. I can’t help but feel a strong connection between her portrayal and my own mother, as if she captures the essence of motherly love and sacrifice in a way that really speaks to me. I’ve seen some people dismiss her performance, and many believe that Adams shouldn’t win or even be nominated for this bizarre role.
No, definitely not
For me, acting awards are always based on performance, not movies. She is the vehicle of the film. She should definitely be nominated or even win. Passion should not disappear. I hope more people can recognize and see my points.
Other than that, Scoot McNairy is also fantastic
Despite some flaws, the film is worth watching.
