Sombras do Passado

Watching this movie was chilling and absolutely terrible in the best possible way.

It is one of those movies that dares to put something on display that we, as viewers, really dont want to see - something unsettling. It doesnt feel good to watch - it is effective that way - and that is exactly why its brilliant.

In Resurrection we get no white picket fences or happily ever afters. Instead we are thrown into the deep end with serious matters such as deteriorating mental health, abuse, emotional suppression, gaslighting and grief. A woman (Rebecca Hall), who lives a seemingly successful life, stumbles upon a psychological trigger that starts an avalanche of past trauma.

Rebecca Hall's performance is breathtaking - hands down. The way this woman portrays the chaos of downward spiraling mental health while being a victim of gaslighting is both maddening and incredibly beautiful. At times it is so well done that it is hard to tell what is actually real and what is happening in her head.

Resurrection is absolutely worth a watch. FAIR WARNING THOUGH... if you yourself have experienced mental abuse it might be triggering and may not be an enjoyable watch for you.

I hated it. I love Rebecca Hall and Tim Roth but I had to struggle to get through this. It's the most uncomfortable and annoying film I've seen in recent memory. You just want to shake someone or slap em.

It's a slow burn that goes haywire somewhere and everything you thought you knew goes out the window.

It honestly gave me a migraine by the end.bWhich, I'll say nothing about but....yeesh.

The acting is phenomenal but Hall is always fantastic to watch. I can't even imagine what this film would have been with someone else cast.

It's dark, it's disturbing and really maddening. If that's up your alley, go for it. I however will not be recommending it to anyone or watching it again.

Great acting, directing and cinematography cannot save what amounts to a big old nothing burger of a story/plot.

The film is very engaging to watch, sets were chosen well, Albany, NY makes an interesting backdrop.

But after we're fully introduced to the villain, the story stops making any rational sense. It's just not believable.

The story doesn't start until its halfway over. The whole thing was guessing what it was about. Good acting, horrible movie. I hope 2022 has more than this to offer.

So many films these days suck you in with a really good start, keep you invested with a well developed middle, then let down with a poor or muddled ending. I still don't get this one at all. But worth it for Rebecca's monologue in the middle.
