Strange but poo


Strange but True (2019)

Directed by Rowan Athale this film based on the novel of the same names stars Margaret Qualley, Amy Ryan, Greg Kinnear, Nick Robinson and Brian Cox. A young woman goes to tell her boyfriends family she believes she is pregnant with his child five years after he died on prom night.

Unfortunately this thriller sign posts its inevitable conclusion way up front and tries to paper over the cracks with some weird moral that never deals with the events at hand. To be honest I was a bit weirded out by the happy conclusion to what is clearly a grim turn of events. Not one for the ages in either content or execution.

2/5
