How Strange Darling is …so, so – STRANGE?!?!

Picsart 24 08 14 10 34 31 548 minThe Lady versus the Serial Killer/Demon. What an unexpected pairing, right? By the time the film finishes, you’ll probably find yourself wondering, “Who was the mysterious serial killer?” Could that have been the whole point of the movie? One thing I’ve realized is that we should never underestimate anyone, no matter how charming they may seem. If you feel compelled to take matters into your own hands and confront those you have a bad feeling about, it’s important to remember that putting yourself in such a dangerous situation is never the right choice. This is exactly what the main character did in the film, and it reminded me so much of “Promising Young Woman.” Both characters at the center of the film were so convincing in their roles that it left me feeling puzzled and lost.

 

 

Strange Darling is Twisted as Fuh!

Picsart 24 08 14 10 33 34 840 minThe film I watched is a must-see for every psychology major! It challenges common assumptions and stereotypes, which is thought-provoking. The storytelling is unique, split into 6 different chapters, but it was still easy to follow. However, I generally prefer films with a more linear narrative. The film also addresses important societal issues, highlighting the need for equality and challenging the notion of one gender being more powerful than the other. It’s a valuable conversation starter on the complexities of human behavior and societal dynamics. The female lead was a lot of things, but a strange darling was not one of them at the top of the list if you catch my drift, folks!

 

Please!! Help Me …Please!!

Would you consider whether she is there to harm you or seeking a place to hide? How would you react in that exact moment? Would you turn her away, or are you the kind of person who would help someone in need, even if you suspect they may have harmed themselves to appear innocent? In such a rushed and intense situation, do you have the time to stop and think? What actions would you take at that moment? Would you find it unusual for a stranger to run up to your home and plead for help? These are all valid questions to ponder, given the prevalence of dishonesty in today’s world and how it affects people’s perceptions and reactions. It’s a harsh reality that good-hearted individuals often suffer because of the actions of others.

 

The Strange Darling Closing Conclusions

Picsart 24 08 14 10 31 49 460 minI will admit that I was going into the film with medium expectations – not high ones, but I came out of it loving it and I would see it again because I loved the premise of the entire film and the way that it played out. I also appreciated the fact that I was able to figure out what was happening as the film progressed onwards even though it was split up between the 6 different chapters.
