The Strings

I've seen garbage movies and I dare say I recognise one when I see one and guess what... This is one of em. I'm not gonna fat shame the lead, like other reviewers have... pointless, what I will do is say is from the lead the the support cast the acting its just poor the "story" is weak. We don't get any reason or rhyme as to why the spooks there not always needed I know, but, when the script and film in general is this bad some explaining is needed . The only good thing about this movie is that it ends.

But why? An hour in and all that has happened is a bunch of long drawn out scenes of nothing. Just her life alone in this cabin doing everyday, mundane things. Not sure how that makes a movie plot. Imagine The Movie A Ghost Story, but without the emotion or story. It just goes back and forth between her staring into space, and writing music. At this point I just want to yell at the writer and director "WE GET IT! SHE'S LONELY AND SHE'S A SONG WRITER! CAN WE MOVE ON ALREADY?!?!?!?!?" But move on we did not. She performed no less than 5 (terrible) full length songs during the movie, and the acting is bad, the dialogue is bad, and her fake smoking is bad. This movie is just bad. This movie was aiming to be a slow burn, but it was just a slow because there was no burn. This was barely even a drama. Skip this one.

The only thing I liked about this movie was the music. I so would buy an album from her. The rest of the movie had no plot and seemed to go nowhere. Watched on Shudder. Unfortunately, I expected more from them.

Like watching an 89 year old guy with prostate issues take a leak. It's a very long drawn out process, but not too much actually comes out. Anti-climactic and scenes are long and drawn out. The story building is like a bad massage without the happy ending. If you didn't watch this movie, your life will be no different than if you did. The only thing good about it was the acting, it seemed real. For that, 2 stars.... out of 100.

Despite some gorgeous cinematography, this film fails to deliver anything worthwhile. Unconvincing performances, lackluster character building and a story that fails to do much of anything combine to deliver a truly awful film. Don't waste your time.
