I came to the viewing of The Westermarck Effect, without knowing Saara Lamberg or her previous work. We'd met briefly for an interview and I found her to be engaging, and intriguing.
The movie is incredibly well produced. Filming, shots, editing are all of high standard. The actors are all on point, which made me quickly believe them, and their story. I was particularly taken by Saara's portrayal of Sally.
The story reads like a modern Romeo & Juliet, only this time is societies taboos that threaten their love, not a family feud.
I found the movie to be very confronting, controversial and at times quite sexual. But this is the point of art. It's more than mere entertainment. It should challenge us, provoke us, make us think, and question our beliefs. The Westermarck Effect does all this and more.
It's a concise, and well written story.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to future work by this extremely talented writer, producer, director and actor!
