Kindred

Which can be good with the right amount of girth, but unfortunately that is what the movie lacks. The suspense is enough to keep you curious throughout, but the pay-off is just so unsatisfying it left you feeling nothing. Thomas is a catch by the way.

It's an interesting, slow film. Good enough acting that I would probably try to punch Shaw or Lowden if I encountered them on the street. Unfortunately, the ending is just as miserable and disappointing as this year.

This film start with a woman "Charlotte" waking up from her bed, and she talking with her husband "Ben" at the kitchen scene! As turnout, this film is about mother of Ben(Margaret) planning to take away Charlotte's unborn baby, after the death of Ben! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the walking scene, overuse of the searching scene, overuse of the driving scene, overuse of the eating scene, overuse of the drinking scene, overuse of the smoking scene, overuse of the blackout scene, overuse of the playing piano scene, overuse of the staring scene, overuse of the waking up scene, overuse of the arguing scene, overuse of the calling names scene, overuse of the flashbacks scene, and overuse of the hallucinate scene! Make the film unwatchable! At the end, Thomas taken Charlotte's newborn baby to Margaret! That's it! Wasting time to watch!

When I was given the chance to sit down to watch "Kindred", I had no idea what the movie was about. But given the movie's poster, then I assumed it to be a horror movie of sorts. And with my lifelong fascination for all things horror, of course I needed no persuasion sitting down to watch writers Joe Marcantonio and Jason McColgan's 2020 movie "Kindred". Well, I didn't even get halfway through it, then I gave up out of a sheer and total boredom. Director Joe Marcantonio managed to squeeze everything that even resembled a proper storyline and anything of any interest out of the story, leaving the audience sitting down to watch a very dry and pointless, not to mention arduously slow paced movie. I was by no means caught up in the storyline, because it was so slow and mundane, and it didn't really help much that the character gallery was flaccid and essentially faceless. The movie is labeled as a drama, horror and mystery here on IMDb, I suppose it may contain elements of all those genres, but regardless of it doing that or not, the movie just utterly and completely failed to catch my interest. When I saw that Fiona Shaw was on the cast list, I thought that there might actually be some worth to the movie. But she was struggling, like everyone else in the movie, with a sinking script and no life preservers to cling on to. I can in all honesty say that I am not ever going to return to try to watch the rest of the movie, because it just never sank its hooks into me. My rating of "Kindred" lands on a generous three out of ten stars, based mostly on the production value and editing of the movie. If you were to ask me, then I would not recommend that you waste your time, money or effort on "Kindred"; some of us did, so you don't have to.

Here's another movie that had a chance to be fairly good and instead it got to its end and... lo and behold. No Ending. An extremely weak anti-climactic end and the whole cast goes home with no explanation at all about what thrilling suspenseful horror story the whole last hour and a half was supposed to be telling us. Pregnant woman's husband dies and his family steals her baby. End of story. If making saleable movies is this easy, I'm definitely in the wrong line of work.

Charlotte is somehow supposed to be imprisoned by her man's mother and his step-brother.🙄🙄🙄 IN 2020 (somewhere in the UK).🙄🙄🙄 I get tired of low-key fantasy of imprisoning Black people movies. Charlotte could have simply walked off while in the hospital after the the ultrasound. Why didn't she? Did she have no independence from her man that his family could easily steal her whole life once he was dead? Charlotte could have walked off and gone to a homeless shelter even, and gotten away from his family. Long, boring, and unrealistic.
