| ColliderHaleigh FoutchThe final misstep doesn't undermine Calvo's eye for framing moments of tension or his enticing exploration of how temptation leads even the purest of us astray. |
| User ReviewPablo G3/5 Sweet, Sweet Lonely Girl is another kind attempt to extend horror through the vintage and the dramatic, with not everything clicking at the end. |
| User ReviewNell AMy feelings are all over the place on this one. Partly because it almost feels like I just watched 2 separate movies - 1 of 50 minutes and 1 of 26 minutes. They feel completely separate and the thread that is supposed to connect them is not apparent enough (in my opinion) to keep it all together. The first 50 minutes is more thriller, heavy with emotional and sensual angst - then suddenly the last 20 minutes it turns into a completely different movie, a supernatural horror that startles and takes you out of that emotional story. Looking back, it can be pieced together, but does not flow naturally. My main grievance, where I feel they could have tied it all together, is the complete lack of character motive for Beth and her change of attitude around that point. Had there been an explanation or reasoning for it, perhaps that could have strung the two ends together. I wouldn't say this is bad, but I will probably never watch it again. It's far too frustrating; you never get to see the ending to the first part and then you get the ending to what feels like a different movie. |
