Review of We Have Always Lived in the Castle (2019) by Slovenly_Muse — 25 May 2019
A very serviceable, atmospheric retelling of the plot of Jackson's classic novel. This film is well-crafted, brilliantly performed, and stylistically effective. However, there is a unique, disturbing, off-kilter quality to the novel, giving it power and depth, that cannot be recaptured through a visual medium.
Through no fault of its own, the film falls just short of the mark.
