Review of The 9th Life of Louis Drax (2016) by Tony B — 14 Feb 2017

Interesting and different movie. I liked it for the most part. slightly on the wrong side of weird at times but I give it props for creativity. (1 viewing).

SPOILERS.

I wish I didn't figure out most of the ending early in the movie. it would have been a great reveal if I was not expecting it. but I don't think it happened due to overthinking. they kept telling us that the dad was bad and the mom was caring, but everything they showed with the dad was him being a loving father, and they showed a few scenes of the mom being crazy. so immediately wondered if she was really the crazy one. I also was able to guess that he left his wife for her and now it was happening to the doctor too. i'm pretty sure I even wondered about Munchhausen syndrome. but the way the entire ending was put together was still great. I was completely surprised that she killed him that same day and how that incident took place. and the extent of the Munchhausen syndrome, and by proxy.
