Watch Wednesday Movie Review

The opening starts with spooky music then goes to silence except for the sound of heavy rain with the title on the screen, this opening made the movie feel like it was going to be a good horror movie.

Most of the movie has no music and so feels slightly awkward, the movie starts as a nice normal sunny day but then a girl dies, the father’s reaction to the girl’s death was over the top and then the mothers scream was too loud.

Some scenes had strange editing while others had well done editing, the girl’s death was foreshadowed so you could tell she was going to die. The movie sometimes feels like a horror movie but nothing scary really happens at all, sound effects such as paper and smashing glass is well made.

The movie was sometimes so loud that it hurt while at the same time a lot of the character’s speech are hard to understand sometimes and some transitions or time skips are confusing or weird.

The use of music was done very well, sad music or tense music at the right times except for a few seconds. You could tell the married couple protagonists of the movie had good chemistry from the way they interacted with each other but the sex scene went on longer than possibly necessary.

There is a random scene where the 2 old women are laughing evilly which made me think they were going to turn out to be evil but nothing ever happened with it so it implies they were putting that scene in to mislead in an un-realistic way.

There was 1 swear word said during the entire movie. During day shots of normal life, you can hear dogs, cats and people doing normal stuff and some characters spoke Italian.

There were 2 other times where the movie tried to make people look like they were the villain, the priest was looking suspiciously at the protagonist a few times and a man that I forgotten the name of followed him suspiciously for a long shot.

Something I noticed that was done well is symbolism, the girl who died at the beginning who drives the sometimes-confusing plot forwards wears red, a lot of red things are used in the movie, the mother even starts wearing red boots after her daughter’s death.

The movie had some supernatural things going on, with the psychic blind woman who had a strange scene that had no purpose and the main character seeing his future where he is dead, being transported on a boat for a funeral.

The ending’s plot twist was not very well planned out, with the killer only being eluded to a few times, once when someone was murdered and another time when someone mentions it, the killer’s identity was never really shown, she was just a random old lady wearing a red hood.
