I'm an old lady. I teethed on Brecht, MacLeish and Albee. I came of age on the smoky balconies of 'foreign film' theaters. My husband declares, "if it's weird, you'll watch it."
Little annoys me more than watching a film by a director who gets in the way of their own art - like She Wills.
The film has a very good folk horror story, finely crafted performances and an intriguing point of view, but it's thin on characterization and director Colbert's repetitively obscure ( almost navel gazing) storytelling style often leaves the audience in the cold.
Like most people, I either like a film or I don't. I can't recall ever seeing a film that left me longing to be engaged.
