  The Wasp 2024

  naomie harris and natalie dormer are both brilliant in this, but .... it's just a mid movie. soooo much talking, which makes sense given that it's based off of a play, but film adaptations should make changes for their medium, that this didn't do enough of. i'm sure this would have been amazing to see on stage, but watching as a movie was like eh. not thriller enough. something should have happened with those framed bugs on the staircase wall - a missed opportunity.
