Cassandra Horne

Cassandra HorneThe more I see of Janelle Monae, the more I love her! Fun movie.

Cassandra HorneAs an American Gothic Literature enthusiast, I am thoroughly enjoying seeing the woven quilt of Poe’s works in this series. An absolute gothic delight.

Cassandra HorneWhile I love Joyce Carol Oates, I didn’t super love the adaptation to film of Blonde. It felt overdone, pushed, repetitive and at times a little stretched, even the cinematography. Otherwise it was well acted even if the editing and directing compromised that.

Cassandra HorneWhile this isn’t the biggest story arc out there, the first 30 minutes of this film had me writhing in my seat, uncomfortable, crying and holding my hand over my mouth. The acting was amazing, the monologue by Ellen Burstyn was incredible and the subtle symbolism was perfect.

Cassandra HorneOne of the best films I’ve seen in a while. Perhaps lacking a little in dialogue is my only criticism. But otherwise a very compelling story that pushes on two issues usually difficult to address.
