“She Will”, Review!

Director: Charlotte Colbert
Starring: John McCreat, Malcolm McDowell, Amy Manson

Alice Krige gives a solid performance as an aging movie star seeking revenge in Charlotte Colbert's atmospheric thriller. There's a lot to like about this atmospheric folk horror centered around an aging actress living in a remote facility in the Scottish Highlands, though "She Will"'s tendency to repeat itself makes it difficult. Its initial strength. Alice Krige, looking older than her years, plays Veronica Gent, a cynical movie star whose best days are behind her and who, along with her assistant Desi, suffers from double mastitis. Come for a well-deserved retreat in the luxurious wilderness. A place of pleasure. (Cota Eberhart) to the company.

Things take a turn for the worse when Veronica's attempts at comfort are disturbed by the presence of a pretentious cast member played by Rupert Everett, who lives with a wide-eyed assistant. Soon, Veronica is subjected to a series of nightmare visions, the most vivid of which - showing the woman being burned - reveals the true events of the past.

Especially as Veronica, a survivor of abuse by famous film director Eric Hathborn, is on the verge of receiving a knighthood for her services, played with just the right amount of arrogance by Malcolm McDowell. The two worked together on the classic film when Veronica was thirteen years old. With a sequel in the works, Veronica finds herself caught in a curious spiral.

But she wasn't alone in her sadness. Veronica, now able to channel the dark energy of her fallen sisters from the ground beneath her feet, discovers that she has the ability to manipulate time and space, bringing the film into a #MeToo revenge thriller. Because it examines not only the ways in which women are treated in the toxic industry, but also society as they age. Inspired by excellent cinematography and an otherworldly score by the great Clint Mansell, the result is a good number of montage-heavy sequences that feel like we're going in circles as the hours go by.

Director Charlotte Colbert is inspired by reality to prove recognized here as a producer. For every idea that seems fresh and new, there's another idea that we've seen countless times before. However, thanks to Krieg's convincing turns and inventive production design, even if she can't draw a fair line between what she wants to say.
