Review of Hagazussa

Hagazussa (2017)
3/10
Dull, dull, dull.

There's a mom. She gurgles. There's a daughter. I think. She walks in the snow. A lot. There are a lot of animal noises. And a musical score created by holding a note on a Yamaha DX-7 for a few minutes and then infrequently changing to another note in that first note's minor scale. I believe the intent was supposedly to create ambience. At one point something growls. Oh, and there are subtitles. For the ten words of dialogue that are uttered. The movie might have had an ending but I don't remember.

These kind of artsy movies tend to veer too much into the minimally abstract while forgetting to have interesting moments or conflicts. This one really doesn't say anything other than "hey look at me, I'm moody. I must be poignant, right?"

No, not really.
