Cohabitation (2020)
Compelling, psychological thriller
PTSD through the eyes of a struggling paramedic, exacerbated by a creepy roommate in a small, claustrophobic apartment, makes for a compelling watch. Perfectly paced, this thriller is a slow burn that delivers. A few unexpected twists and turns lead the viewer down a path that keeps you riveted. The performances were good and I particularly liked the lead, who played a low key, damaged paramedic who was able to summon up hesitant smiles for her brother and his fiance when called for. Cohabitation is more than just a story about a twisted roommate; it's a well-made character driven drama about overcoming mental health obstacles in a world where it's hard to trust.
Metamorphosis (2022)
Tense and strangely beautiful
Not my usual genre, which actually made this movie kind of a thrill to watch since it was a lone wolf amongst my usual movie fare. I enjoyed the tension and slow burn. The film was cinematic and starkly beautiful. I thought the cast was terrific. Dark nights and rain added atmosphere and tension. I got the feels at the end - ahhh! Can't give it away, but it got to me. Well shot, and startlingly frightening. Yes it's a slow burn but dig deep and if you're in a relationship you'll find yourself identifying with these two folks as they struggle to get through an unusually troubled, difficult marriage.
