Review of Gerald's Game (2017) by Deanomite — 22 Jan 2020
Mike Flanagan did a good job with Doctor Sleep, this was nicely photographed, edited. I like the subtle touches, little things like a hand hold or a stray dog illustrates the dynamics of a long marriage, the strains and compromises in little actions.
Carla Gugino is stunning for 47, Bruce Greenwood is in better shape than I imagined possible at 63. I like how after many years of marriage they are strangers, trust is sacrificed for excitement. Honestly I am becoming offended at movies portraying men as rapists and pedophiles, it is a stereotype I am tiring of.
I appreciate she is a victim, but in this movie she is nothing but a victim. It was boring, unnecessarily gross I just didn't enjoy this movie at all.
