Kindred (I) (2020)
7/10
Plot conveniences to get to a specific ending
30 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Very competently shot and acted... but the story is written to bring about a very specific end and make you the viewer frustrated as a result. If you often watch horror movies and yell at the screen "WHY DID THEY DO THAT? THAT'S STUPID!" you will feel the same way here. The entire film is arrayed against the protagonist and she has no recourse and no one she can trust. But, she's not in a situation that is particularly horrific or entirely a dead-end ... literally, their friend and their community is written to distrust and disbelieve her, and betray her, at every turn. Finally you get a downbeat ending that just makes you feel gross inside, and very, very hopeless and sad for the protagonist.
