EILEEN (2023): Misunderstood Brilliance | in-depth film review

Описание: Reviews for the new psychological thriller film Eileen (2023) are in, and they’re not looking good. Film bad, then? Not necessarily. I think it’s getting underappreciated. Let me explain.

Chapters.
Part 1. Synopsis and general observations
Part 2. A novel like a film
Part 3. A film like a novel
Part 4. Conclusion

About me:
I am a 20-somethin’ y.o intellectual crackhead, who like books, poetry, and anything else I like to get into (art, films, philosophy, culture, social commentary etc.). Talking books, I like classics, literary fiction, and sci-fi, but will read anything if it’s bad-funny enough.
