Alright, so I’ve got this thing I wanna share about a movie I watched recently. It’s called “The Severing,” and let me tell you, it was quite the experience. I stumbled upon this film while browsing for something different to watch. It’s directed by this guy, Mark Pellington, who also did “The Mothman Prophecies.” I went in not knowing much, just that it wasn’t your typical movie.
First off, I started digging around a bit to see what people were saying about it. I saw some descriptions calling it a “cathartic movement film” and saying it’s about “life and loss,” told in a chaotic way. Sounded intriguing, right?
I found out that the cast includes folks like Danny Axley, Allison Fletcher, and Maija Knapp. I didn’t recognize the names, but that’s fine. I’m all about discovering new talent. The main thing that caught my attention was this talk about the movie being told through movement and text, rather than your usual dialogue-heavy scenes.
So, I watched it. And wow, it was definitely not what I expected, in a good way. It’s not your typical narrative film, that’s for sure. There’s a lot of expressing emotions through movement. I tried to follow the characters and their journeys, but it wasn’t always clear-cut. That’s the beauty of it, I guess. It’s not spelled out for you.
After watching, I went back online to see what others thought. Some reviews mentioned that it’s a twisted tale of “love, isolation, struggle, and silence.” Others said it was a unique experience. I totally get that. It’s one of those movies that sticks with you, makes you think.
I also learned a bit about how people review movies. There are professional critics who look at films as works of art, and then there are regular folks like you and me who just share their thoughts whenever. I think both perspectives are valuable. For this movie, I feel like it’s more about the overall impression it leaves on you, rather than picking apart every detail.
My conclusion about this movie
- It’s different. If you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, this might be up your alley.
- It’s emotional. It’s not just a story, it’s a feeling, and a whole experience for me.
- It’s not for everyone. Some people might find it confusing or too abstract.
In the end, I’m glad I watched “The Severing.” It was a unique cinematic experience that I won’t forget anytime soon. If you decide to watch it, go in with an open mind and see where it takes you. Just don’t expect your typical Hollywood flick, that’s for sure.
