The performance of Mia Goth as Pearl is noteworthy, but I didn’t find myself particularly engaged by this movie. The story centers around a woman living on a farm while her husband is away at the Somme. She resides with her stern, German mother called Ruth (played by Tandi Wright) and her nonverbal, severely disabled father who relies completely on them both. Pearl has a strong desire to leave. During trips into town to get medicine for her father, she meets the local projectionist (David Corenswet), who shows her a film with some suggestive content and hints that she could potentially create a different life for herself. As time goes on, her existence at the farm becomes increasingly difficult, and potential avenues of escape lead her to consider extreme measures—a scheme that is unintentionally initiated following a disagreement with her mother. It’s an easy enough watch, but equally unremarkable. The narrative feels underdeveloped and flimsy; while the cinematography is pleasing, it never really grabs hold. There's no sense of danger or suspense. This isn't a horror film so much as a portrayal of a young woman struggling with mental illness, presenting a handful of mildly diverting situations that fade away just as quickly as the plot does, culminating in an ending that aggressively pushes for a sequel. It’s really not necessary to experience this one in theaters.
