The Front Room

Okay this is definitely one of A24's worst films because as much there are some aspects I appreciate, it fails to take advantage with it's concept and becomes a mess.

The Eggers Brothers crafted a somewhat interesting horror flick with some interesting concepts within its setting and strong performances from Brandy and Kathryn Hunter. Unfortunately, these positive aspects are thrown into the back due to its poorly written narrative that struggles to focus with its themes, characters that are uninteresting and annoying, and a third act that just goes nowhere.

Based on the story from Susan Hill, I'll be honest, the story felt as if it was a bit stretched out too long as it ends up making some narrative choices feel weak and creating some pacing issues. Including gross moments that feels like it wants to be mean-spirited but unlike being in a creative way, it feels forced. There are some solid camera work and presentation.

Overall, the Eggers Brothers prove that they have talents to craft something but this movie probably works better as a short film.
