Review of White Noise (2022) by Umaumai — 14 Jan 2023

I really don’t like when characters pay no attention to what other characters have said on screen. Normally I would absolutely hate a movie where the dialogue is near constantly and simultaneously coming out of every actors mouth that is on currently on screen making a cacophony of “white noise.

” Worse, I generally despise when so much of the dialogue is being delivered with such dramatic weight as if it was being etched in stone. For some reason none of that dissuade me for both watching and enjoying this.

This is definitely a film where you can tell how much the actors enjoy the work and excel at what they are giving in their performances to a point that I got swept up and brought along. There are some genuinely creepy moments and some masterful effects.

It’s so well filmed and the staging/sets are amazing. The music is also just fantastic. I’m trying to think of something that this reminds me of, but it’s too grounded for it to be anything I’d like to compare it too.

There isn’t a lot of humor really and normally that would put me off as well. The only thing is I felt like it over stays it’s welcome because of that. I’d recommend this if you’re in the mood for a mildly abstract drama with a good narrative.
