Eileen (2023)
Directed by William Oldroyd this film based on the novel of the same name stars Thomasin McKenzie, Shea Whigham and Anne Hathaway. In the 1960s a young woman with a retired, alcoholic father works at a prison for teenage boys.
I really enjoyed the first two thirds of this film where it was Carol (2015) in a prison as a young woman explores her unfulfilled sexual desires, the last third of the film rather took me out of things. The twist at the end does not really go far enough in my opinion. A fine film but I think it could have been better if it leaned into things one way or the other more.
3/5
