Review of Watcher (2022) by Susannah Gruder for IndieWire — 26 Jan 2022
Instead of leaning into the ambiguous tensions and uncanny experiences, Watcher fails to live up to its inspirations, ending up a heavy-handed, predictable trip through genre tropes with a rather lifeless cast at its core.
Watcher spells out every plot point to a tee, when we wish it would slowly, playfully tug at the threads of our anxieties.
