Review of Annette (2021) by Chanekecholo — 20 Jan 2022

Initially, I felt very confused about what kind of film I was watching, until a saw the interview with the writers of this film, Ron and Russell Mael, members of the band Sparks which they had plans for their new album to be presented by means of a film. So, that explains the strange format that it had and it brings a lot of freshness to this genre. But, at times I lose my train of thought.

The director shows incredible creativity in the staging of this film, most of the time by artificial means in a good way, because the artificiality somehow heightens the emotional component instead of distracting you. The performances were great and the last scene adds enormous emotional value to the film.
