Eternal Beauty (2019)
Country: GB
Technical: col 95m
Director: Craig Roberts
Cast: Sally Hawkins, Penelope Wilton, Billie Piper, David Thewlis, Alice Lowe
Synopsis:
Jilted at the altar, Jane suffers from morbid schizophrenia until changes in her medication lead to life-changing hallucinations.
Review:
At least this is one of several possible interpretations: the film's grip on first-person narrative is so pervasive as to leave the viewer in doubt as to what is real. The film positioned itself as one of those serendipitous meetings of damaged souls, with David Thewlis as a fellow traveller, yet his involvement is marginal, and potentially a mere figment of her imagination. By that time, most will have given up on this alienating experience, despite Hawkins's humorous performance.
