Marie Francis

An incredible movie! I could not recommend more. Zendaya’s acting is truly phenomenal and a vital role to this film. She adds an energy of fierce emotion and determination that I’m not sure any other actress could properly portray. I loved it and I’m looking forward to seeing more from this triple threat.

An absolutely amazing performance by these two the relativeness to people in the film industry is impeccable. It’s a shame this movie has become something fun to critique but in all my understanding as a mentally ill, mixed race, black female actress (who is coincidentally also named Marie) this film hit me in ways I never would have expected even from such brilliant actors, cinematographers and director. My two favourite scenes (spoilers) have to be the scene of Marie holding a knife and pretending as though she had lost her mind, which knowing the extreme possibility of that being true, genuinely put me on edge. The second one has to be when Marie is sitting in the bath and tears are running down her face due to the spitefully inconsiderate words about better past lovers that Malcom is spewing at her. I’m currently studying A level film in London and I hope that one day I can create heartfelt masterpieces much like this one.

Amazing movie with stunning cinematography and an incredible and unexpected plot. It’s a shame the main actress was so unconvincing and made the movie feel better without her in scenes… but overall a fantastic watch.
