Hiwatt M @RT12406320 Oct 24 Very interesting characters, all very buttoned up emotionally but seething underneath. Acting was superb; standout performance for me was Charlotte Rampling as the dowager. Plodding plot with a slow burn. Wouldn't call it boring, but after the waiting the audience was primed for a powerful ending- which was nonsensical. A let down. Could've been so much more.

See more Simon T @MovieTart 01/31/2025 This oddly acted uncertainly directed curio is neither ghost story nor romance. A vast house seems to be cursed - but by what? A dour and humourless doctor (Domhnall Gleeson, miscast) arrives to treat a maid and then various members of the unhappy family who live there and have allowed the house to rot. The son (Will Poulter, miscast and rather over-egging the shell-shocked soldier) has a sister (Ruth Jones) and neurotic mother (Charlotte Rampling, rather wasted). It's all a bit humourless and derivative, and the British accents could have come out of a French and Saunders skit.

Despite my efforts to find entertainment in it, I struggled to identify a compelling aspect that would hold my attention. The ending of the movie left me overly confused and disappointed, lacking coherence with the rest of the story and ultimately falling flat. Instead of feeling immersed in the film, I found myself disconnected and disengaged, as if being lectured on historical details rather than being entertained. The movie seemed to force its themes and narrative onto the audience, leading to a sense of artificiality rather than genuine entertainment. It failed to evoke the old-time feeling of engagement and instead felt like a tedious and uninspiring experience. In conclusion, "The Little Stranger" may not be the best choice for a captivating movie night. If you're looking for a film that lulls you into a nap, this may fit the bill.
