Review of Krisha (2016) by David M — 19 Jan 2017
A Thanksgiving family reunion filmed and paced like a horror movie. An estranged mother returns to her family after abandoning them to heal herself after a past with drugs and alcohol. Now in her 60s and clearly not as healed as she believes, we see the horrors of family unfold.
Conversations, glances, double meaning words, and untold history. It uses more technique and flair than most dramas. But it becomes too much as aspect ratios keep changing and it becomes clear all the showy camera movements are to compensate for a story that, despite an interesting setup, just spins its wheels and does nothing that you didn't see coming from the get go.
