The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Klotsvog in Books

Oct 7, 2020

3.5* If you’ve ever wanted to understand what the term “unreliable narrator” means, the story of Maya Abramovna Klotsvog, who lives in the USSR after WWII, by Margarita Khemlin is an excellent example. Told like a memoir, this novel translated by Lisa C. Hayden, seems simple but is very different. See what I thought about it in my #bookreview here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/08/23/but-that-is-not-my-point/

Movie Rating Watch

Sure, it’s hardly Hereditary, but it’s the kind of playfulness that’s sorely missing from the rest of Annabelle Comes Home. If a horror film isn’t intending to hold a mirror to society or to ourselves, and all it wants to do is make things go bump in the night, it needs to be fun enough for us to forgive the lack of substance.

Movie Rating

Visually, the film is full of dark imagery, shadows, and washed out yellows to present the film in a gritty, ‘untouched’ way. At times it does feel like a documentary based on the strength of the acting, and how current the issue is. What we see in the film, we see on the news constantly, and The Flood keeps reminding us of that fact.
