Pandemonium (2023) 2/5

Unfortunate that there is not consistent enjoyment from story to story. Maybe if the theme was not as tied together, it would be easier to forgive. As is, I felt I was meant to pay attention to each to find what the director wanted to say.

I did love the beginning though and an expanded upon end could have been interesting. The stuff in the middle felt weaker and I honestly struggled to recognize where some of the deeper meanings may have been intended, if they were there.

Mothers’ Instinct (2024) 2.5/5

I am fine mixing camp with serious, but it just felt a little directionless here. It also meanders a bit and there is not enough interesting dialogue or events to make it feel good to be a part of. They definitely set up for moments like that, especially in the later half, but nothing really stood out. No scene is going to stick with me.

I was really on board for the first half, it just doesn’t do well with its questions and suspense.
