Despite looking like a rather promising creature feature horror movie, Pollen ends up being a metaphore for the sexual abuse and metal trauma faced by women.
While being about a very real and serious subject matter , pollen is just the usual rehashed "men bad" message reheated and served in yet another format.
Quality of dialogue and atmosphere varies significantly during the movie, going from pretty decent to rather amateurish levels.
A bit sad over all, lead actress is quite good and her talentes seem a bit wasted on Pollen's meandering plot.
I personally would not reccomend this to any of my friends.

I have a very big problem with this film. Its author mocks adult women with its portrayal of a vulnerable, unsecure and abused female character and I am a male myself. There's rape on the door steps already before entering the bedroom, which the main character sublimates into love. There's toxic and highly competitive corporate white-collar work climate that the female character, portrayed like a Kimmy Schmidt minus the charisma and the smile, must navigate but she constantly mistakes the working place for a mating habitat or a romantic medium, confounds males for trees, plants for men, evening dresses for work attire, even her own 'no' for 'yes'. Thre are constant breadcrumbs left for viewers to see who's who and what leads where, like for instance the used condom on the floor, the confession that the condom was both used and not used, from a man who assesses risk for a living. Since, judging by the place she works, the viewer must think of her as highly educated and long past puberty, the only explanation I came with, for the course of events and the 'story', others may not be necessarily be in agreement with, is that the film is either a mockery dressed up as a horror, a horror dressed up as a mockery or there's a mind behind it, itself troubled, who mistakes itself as creative. A poet armed with the wrong tools, a gardener with pots of weed instead of flowers. The horror atribute of this film refers to its perceived toxicity in viewers like myself. One of those films you watch because you're not smart and don't know better (I admit it) and neither did the filmmaker expect it. From me, even 1 star is undeserved.
Because of the ridiculous minimum character count I'll be repeating myself several times. This is NOT a horror movie. I have no idea what movie the other reviewer saw, but it couldn't be this one. The characters, all are not relatable, not sympathetic and the actors portraying them just can't. Nothing redeeming about this movie. Nothing enjoyable. Do yourself a favour and pass on this one.
Not a horror, NOT a horror, not a horror, Not a horror, NOT a horror, not a horror, not a horror, NOT a horror, NOT a horror, Not a horror, NOT a Horror, Not a horror, don't be duped this is NOT a horror. No.

This is an interesting little movie. It's an art film surrounded around sexual trauma and mental health, using the plant as a metaphor. That's at least what my interpretation is.
The lead actress is talented and portrays a young, confused and harmed woman with an ease that's hard to do honestly. Without her, the film wouldn't work as well. The office scenes are also pretty good, definitely laughed at a few of them for sure.
The plot is metaphoric and hard to really get a grip on, but it works in the end. Overall, a creative indie that I enjoyed. I miss working out of an office sometimes, so a little nostalgic for me. The other actors also did well. 6.2/10. Nice work!

Pollen is a 2023 psychological horror film directed by D. W. Medoff and starring Ava Rose Kinard. The film tells the story of Hera, a young woman who is assaulted by a senior coworker at her dream job. As she tries to keep her career together, she is tormented at work, at home, and in her dreams by a mysterious tree monster.
Pollen is a well-made and disturbing film that explores the themes of sexual assault, workplace harassment, and trauma. Kinard gives a powerful performance as Hera, and the film's visuals are striking and atmospheric. The film is not for the faint of heart, but it is an important and timely film that is sure to stay with you long after you watch it.
Positives
Strong performances from Ava Rose Kinard and the supporting cast Striking visuals and atmospheric cinematography Thought-provoking exploration of the themes of sexual assault, workplace harassment, and trauma Negatives
The film can be slow-paced at times The ending may be unsatisfying for some viewers Overall, Pollen is a well-made and disturbing film that is sure to stay with you long after you watch it. The film is not for the faint of heart, but it is an important and timely film that is worth watching.
Recommendation
I recommend Pollen to fans of psychological horror films, as well as anyone who is interested in films that explore the themes of sexual assault, workplace harassment, and trauma.
I am a little surprised how low its rated on IMDB. The film really is well made, well casted and well acted. Perhaps the slasher seekers don't understand the point of this film. The work environment depicted in this film is quite common in the professional office space. The only area I think it could have been better was the ending scene where the higher up is killed in the girls apartment. It just didn't fit the rest of the film. I think a better smarter revenge should have been written into the story at the end. But other than that, this feels like a A24 film.
