Reviews:

Just watched this & have no idea what was going on or what is was about. Must be for people who have read the book.

I genuinely like all four of the core cast members of _We Have Always Lived in the Castle_ especially Daddario, and they’re all good in this, and there are a couple of scenes here with genuine tension, but the reality is that by the end of movie, I’d spent half of the runtime straight-up bored.

_Final rating:★★½ – Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

Wonderful film adaptation of a classic Shirley Jackson short story.
This film is based on Shirley Jackson’s classic short story “We have always lived in the Castle”, which if you haven’t read it you should. In the book, the story is told through Mary Katherine Blackwood’s point of view and introduces the reader to an unreliable narrator.

The film did a nice job of following the story from Mary Katherine’s, or “Merricat” as she is called, perspective. Backdrop was perfect…the house, the forest, the town. The cast was great…crazy, cryptic, mysterious, manipulative, obsessed, driven…everyone’s role contributed successfully to the uneasiness intended with this dark family drama. The slow pacing contributes to the feelings of deep loneliness, longing and ultimately desperation…which build up to a horrific act by “scared” and ignorant townspeople. (Not the first time Shirley Jackson has made social commentary on townspeople and their lack of empathy….her short story The Lottery has haunted me since junior high!)

The acting by Taissa Farmiga as Merricat, was so well done. She successfully navigated this character that is at once protective, loving, sinister and unapologetic. Likewise Alexandra Daddario was brilliant as Merricat’s older sister, who played the difficult role of trying to hold on to normalcy when everything is anything but…including how everyone thinks she is the cold-blooded murderer of her own family. Crispin Glover was a delightful surprise as their nearly mad uncle who is obsessed with telling the story of the tragedy of their family…and Sebastian Stan is equally brilliant as the opportunistic, manipulative, money-grubbing, interloping relative.

The director did an excellent job…like the book, of not giving you all the facts, while trying to build your empathy for a character who may ultimately not deserve as much empathy as you think…or do they? One of the ultimate questions of the story.

Slow, beautiful and disturbing this period piece based on a classic is really worth seeing.

Another Mystery Novel Adaptation
As with most mystery films in modern cinema the intrigue which captures an audiences attention lies in a film-makers ability to sustain and unravel a plot sufficiently over the duration of a movie.

The pacing of this movie is painfully slow, but only because there is a limited amount of content to faithfully adapt. Otherwise, it’s well acted, surprising and suspenseful.

Do yourself a favor and do not ruin the movie’s plot for yourself before you watch it, otherwise you’ll be depriving yourself of most its entertainment value
