Jennifer Lawrence and (to a lesser extent) Robert Pattinson give it their all, but I wasn't entirely convinced by this new film from Lynne Ramsay. I found it a rather distant watch at times, with lots of repetition and provocation for provocation's sake (at least, in my opinion). The film certainly has something to say, and I don't want to dismiss it all as unnecessary provocation—but then again, it doesn't seem like such a particularly sensitive portrayal of postpartum depression? It relies heavily on the absurdist element, so the film tries to be very realistic on the one hand, and then leaves reality far behind. Including an ending that I think is hard to take literally, but is presented as such.

But content-related reservations aside, I found it visually and technically a strong film for the most part (except for the forest fire and the fire at the beginning and end, which didn't look great), and it's primarily a film you watch for the performances. Where, again, Jennifer Lawrence absolutely steals the show. Her character is a very frustrating one (for lack of a better word) to follow—but Lawrence does pull you along for two hours, even if you don't always want to. Pattinson, in that respect, takes a back seat.

3*. And in all honesty, it was my third film of the day at Film Fest Ghent last month, so maybe a second viewing will do me good soon to look at it with a fresh perspective.

Writer Grace [Jennifer Lawrence] moves in with alcoholic Jackson [Robert Pattinson] at the remote home of a deceased relative, hoping to combine her impending motherhood with her writing. We learn about Grace and Jackson in fragments before and during the pregnancy. Once the baby arrives, Lawrence throws herself into the role with complete abandon, resulting in an uninhibited, often caricatural portrait of a woman with postpartum depression. It doesn't help that Pattinson is also guilty of overacting in Lawrence's somewhat desperate attempt to compete for an Oscar. The best work comes from Spacek as Grace's mother and LaKeith Stanfield as a mysterious man who, despite his limited screen time, continues to haunt you.

You quickly understand that we're looking at postpartum depression (the term is explicitly mentioned later), and that's really all there is to it: there's a series of life events (birth of the child, marriage, admission to a clinic) and incidents (shooting the constantly whining dog, infidelity, self-harm), but ultimately there's no narrative to the theme, so it remains a psychological portrait of a mentally ill woman. The beautiful, often shadowy atmospheric images and the symbolism (the wild horse probably represents her desire to escape), as well as the fragmented narrative style, with its shifting back and forth in time, splits of individuality (such as the woman suddenly looking at herself), and the intertwining of reality and fantasy meant to express her psychosis, hardly make the film more interesting. It mainly confuses the viewer without creating more empathy for the woman. I believe the film is mainly praised for Jennifer Lawrence's acting, because the film doesn't have much else to offer.
