Review of Anthracite

Anthracite (2024)
1/10
Annoying character impossible to watch
11 April 2024
Not sure if this series is supposed to be taken seriously. Does it want to be a thriller about mass suicide in a cult investigated by a woman who is recovering from cancer? Does it want to be a funny slasher movie with a goofy anime-inspired teenage girl as the protagonist? Seems like many Hollywood tropes and genres have been copied and randomly inserted in the French plot. But what makes it unbearable to watch is the annoying main character and the equally annoying camera work. Who goes on a mission to save their own father and behaves all happy go lucky like that? Even when the car is steering towards the precipice she is half laughing. Her dialogue lines are spoken too fast and too joyfully for the context. Besides behaving like an airheaded teen, she dresses like one, although the actress is obviously a grown up woman. I was expecting a thriller and this is a silly, annoying mess.
