wildling_pic01.jpgA story about a girl whom her “Daddy” keeps locked at an attic and raises her with a fear of a child-eating monster living outside in the woods. He does everything he can in order to hide her origins, but at the age of 16 her “Daddy” attempts suicide and Anna has to face the real world. She’s rescued by a police officer (Liv Tyler) and moves in with her. But she doesn’t fit in…

I’ve seen worse, but wouldn’t watch this again. The Wildling tells a horrible story of puberty by mixing Josef Frizl, Carrie and Twilight, with a touch of Indiana Jones.

Movie of the Week: The Shape of Water

I have to admit, I don’t really follow what’s going on in the cinemas. But after being invited to the movies and having the freedom to choose the film, I knew it would be this one. A film with 13 Oscar nominations can’t be bad, right?

A story about freaks and interracial love, where the creature from the Black Lagoon meets a mute woman who wants to rescue it. Very much the style of Guillermo del Toro, The Shape of Water is visually extremely pleasing with a cast of talented actors.

Short story, can’t wait to see how many Oscars Shape of Water will win.

⭐⭐⭐⭐/ 5
