This slow-burn possession horror film is a bit too slow in my opinion. I was completely engaged in the story and the characters up to a certain point, and I can appreciate that the love story is between two 30 something lesbians suffering typical Millennial problems of aimlessness or living with one's parents - there's a lot going on here which seems to be completely metaphorical.

Chana the mother character was amazing, the actress deserves some kind of award for how smoothly she pulled off her role in secrecy.

But ultimately by the last twenty minutes or so I really wanted to fast forward through the predictable climax.

Good lord that poor cat lady.

"Attachment" tells the story of two women whose relationship becomes entangled with the mysterious past of one woman's mother. The film explores the Kabbalah, a Jewish belief system, adding a unique dimension to the story.

The movie is a refreshing departure from traditional horror films that rely heavily on gore and special effects. Instead, "Attachment" builds tension through its clever storytelling and masterful cinematography. The result is a movie that is both touching and suspenseful.

The relationship between the two women is at the heart of the movie, and the performances by the actresses are top-notch. As the story unfolds, we are drawn into their world and become invested in their journey.

One of the most impressive aspects of "Attachment" is its use of Kabbalah. The film deftly weaves this mystical belief system into the story, adding a layer of depth that elevates it beyond typical horror fare.

Overall, "Attachment" is a well-crafted and thoughtful film that is definitely worth watching. It may not be a traditional horror movie, but it is certainly a memorable one. Highly recommended.

I have to admit that "Attachment" was a much better film than I expected, although ultimately it wasn't as exceptional as I was hoping it'd turn out to be. At 1hr and 45 minutes, 20 minutes less would have been a vast improvement.

The movie starts in the Netherlands, where Maja and British student Leah meet in a library. Sparks fly and before you can say, "Lesbian U-Haul Joke," the two move back to Leah's London home with her mother, who seems a little crazy and overly overprotective. Enter Jewish folklore, body transformation and peanut allergies and an eventual satisfying ending.

It's quite well acted with excellent production values, and really, time management and editing is my only real complaint. That and the actress who plays Maja' sinus issues. But I started getting antsy halfway through the third act, wondering when they were going to start wrapping things up. Then once we got to the climax, it just seemed to go on far too long. It's really too bad, because it had the makings of something special, with a couple you were rooting for to make it. Instead it just became dull.

I would love to see a better edited version of this film. But for now the best I can do is a 6.

This film was an incredibly enjoyable and engaging watch, and really fun to see in the cinema. A beautiful example of claustrophobic family horror, it manages to balance tension and emotional stakes while still being funny and charming. Every member of the small cast gives a really phenomenal performance.

This was a quarantine film that was shot quickly, and it shows a little in some clumsy exposition but that is easily my only criticism. All told, it is incredibly sharp, original and multifaceted, with a stunning cast and strong direction, a wonderful, complex queer storyline and a very fresh take on some old tropes. Absolutely delightful.

This film is described as horror, and it could be called that, amongst other things.

What is happening here? Well, there's a possession, but this surely is no The Exorcist! It's a Danish film, and we really haven't got a great history in either horror or scary films. But is this really a horror film, I would say partly. It is as someone is trying to make it into more than that. But what? It's really hard to say, for me that is. I try to find what this is all about. The reason is, that Danish films very seldom just try to be, for instance, funny, entertaining or just plain scary (or anything really). There's gotta be more than what's seems obvious. So whay is it this time? Is it an attack at religion, homosexuality, jews or?

Perhaps it's just me searching for something that is not supposed to be there, perhaps it's just plain horror? If so, it's not really that scary. It has the very annoying ending that most horror film has, you really can't tell if the whole thing really have ended.

There's not anything to say against the actors, they do a very good job, especially Park and Kendrick.

Truth be told I'm really not a horror fan, so if you are, you probably have to see for yourself.
