Review of Krisha (2016) by Vrush — 17 Apr 2016

Slyly, this film provided no evidence that Krisha was an "abandoneer" other than the character's assertions. Krisha's inability to challenge this definition of herself, internally or otherwise, is evidence only that she accepted her assigned identity as the family scapegoat.

The film made clear that the character Trey was not considering a career in film. When we ask ourselves how in real life Trey became a filmmaker, perhaps we see that the bad actor in this film is truly Robyn, who gains a sense of superiority by cutting Trey off from his creative flow in order to prove which is the superior parent.

There was no need to throw the whole turkey out. Unconditional regard and love for Krisha was out of the question in order to prove Robyn correct in every way. The Trey in the film was destined for business, and not destined to create this beautiful film about the sadness of a woman's tendency to be a control freak at the expense of the child she claims to be raising with full love.

Like Solomon, I think we can see which is the real mother through the eyes of this filmmaker. The mother in possession has no interest in the welfare of the child, whereas Krisha seeks only that he be in touch with his creative destiny.
