Review of Annette (2021) by Dawdlingpoet — 27 Nov 2022

This is very much an arty film - it comes across as primarily a musical, with an almost operatic sense or setting to it...it may well be viewed as pretentious to some, though I did enjoy the musical numbers, the operatic singing and the rousing feel of it every so often.

It's a bit hard to fully interpret, storywise, at times but the cast give good performances and its certainly entertaining - surprisingly engrossing at times. It won't appeal to all by any means, if you know what it is and it appeals then I'd say its worth a watch but if your not keen on reasonably big scale, somewhat operatic type musical films (with a fair amount of quirk), then stay clear of this would be my advice, otherwise I recommend it.
