Feel like the movie should have ended at the point Joan and John met again 😭
I like hated this lol. Feel like Wright tried to deal with too many things at once - feminism and victim blaming, mental illness, and bullying but then tried to turn every theme on its head, resulting in really contradictory and problematic messaging.
Also all the jump scares were predictable and overdone and I just felt like I was in one of those scary theme park rides where random things are thrust at you over and over again - you jump, but you expect to, and it's mostly just very repetitive.
Oh man, what a powerful film. Mostly this hit me on such a gut level that I can't even articulate all the ways in which Meshkini captures the experience of womanhood - the anticipation of danger, the power, the fear, confusion, and sense of loss and sacrifice.
Found myself absolutely sucked in throughout and captivated by that constant sense of urgency. Amazing.
