Eileen

"Eileen has a hard life, verbally abused by her father, dead mother and sexually frustrated. A woman enters her work life who is the epitome of style and satisfaction. The story moves from the mundane to the horrific as Eileen follows and then enhances her new friend’s crazy scheme. "

"Based on the novel of the same name by Ottessa Moshfegh, who also co-wrote the script, Eileen is an effectively disturbing film, a powerful look at the lengths to which mistreated women will go to achieve freedom, justice, and happiness, featuring electrifying performances from stars Thomasin McKenzie and Anne Hathaway."

"“Eileen” reminded me deeply of the movie “Carol.” Both involve drama surrounding a close, charged relationship between women. They are also both set amid the atmospheric glow of colors and contain tension you could cut with a knife. The characters are very drop-dead gorgeous and have a je ne sais quoi allure to them and the poetic, romantic way that they talk. As individuals, they are dark, intriguing, and heavily secretive and pull each other deeper into intricate, seductive webs of emotion and passion. 24-year-old Eileen works at the local prison and meets Rebecca Saint John, a new clinical psychologist that the prison has brought on. The two are instantly drawn to one another like a moth drawn to light and that just sets off the chain of events to come. Both Thomasin McKenzie as Eileen and Anne Hathaway as Rebecca really made this movie come to life and sparkle. It relies on them to intimately collaborate and speak a language only the other can understand and they do so with poise, grace, and the appropriate amount of vulnerable intensity. Their chemistry is fluid and meaningful, prevailing through all until it stumbles into oblivion. I took off a star because I found the open-ended nature of the ending maddening and messaging a bit frustratingly unclear. However, the ambiguity tended to take center stage in this movie, which I could mostly appreciate as this story brought me in some valuable, nuanced directions. "

"I have no idea how to feel lol. But love the hot dangerous sapphic women vibes. Too bad they didn’t go for it all the way‼️ Like…the vibes are off the charts, but also, we’ve LITERALLY😭LOST😭THE PLOT😭😭😭😭 Anne Hathaway I love you to pieces."
