It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
The movie "Lovely Molly" is a surprising film as it explores the deep dark crevasses of the human mind when experiencing trauma. The movie fluctuates between whats real and whats not and plays with your emotions through clever camera angles and techniques. It give insight into what it would be like to be a mental patient experiencing schizophrenia.Give this movie a chance, don't go in expecting a classic jump scare horror cause this movie plays with your mind. When the "demon" or "her imagination" reveals itself it is the most creepy scene. This movie gets under your skin. Which is hard to do but which is why the movie gets my recommendation because "Lovely Molly" achieves this.
LOVELY MOLLY is a slow and smoldering ghost story about Molly(Gretchen Lodge)and her new husband Tim(Johnny Lewis)experiencing eerie disturbances after moving into Molly's deceased father's country home. Not really packed with a lot of gore, but pretty creepy all the same. Tim, being a truck driver, is away when Molly starts to hear unexplainable sounds and falls back into unpleasant past memories. The creep factor escalates as demonic manifestations makes this ghost story seem a bit convoluted. None the less, it gets a bit painful to sit and watch the characters not take a lot of effort to change the circumstances.Other players include: Alexandra Holden, Josh Jones, Field Blauvelt, Katie Foster, Kevin Murray and Camilla Zaidee Bennett.
I am surprised by the rating. I do admit regretting watching this movie. The reason is, I would prefer to avoid watching movies with such themes. But the movie itself is of high quality. No unnecessary jump scares. Nothing that would damage the ears. There is a creepy atmosphere and the sound effects are awesome. The song that is sung especially...you will know what I am talking when you watch it. Towards the end, the shot of "that thing" is haunting. That is one thing what I like. The fact that it is more than a story of abuse. It may also be a divisive movie judging by its rating. I don't know why though, it is not a head scratcher like yellowbrickroad or something like that. I can't say I will watch it again though, the themes and some of the scenes are very disturbing for me. 8/10
I think it was a brilliant film, i must admit I watched it twice and then a third time to make sure I totally got it. lovely score in it also, beautiful in fact. the actress Gretchen lodge is brilliant (y) its is also good to see it from her point of view, IE other paranormal films give you the sense of something ghostly being there but with this movie ,as its her herself being haunted, i think that makes it more frightening, the fact that ,no us viewers don't see anything, hence imaginations going crazy trying to figure it out. There was a few times I changed my mind through the film from 'is she mentally ill?' and imagining this? to, yes she's definitely being preyed on by some unknown being.overall,i'm hooked...I just love it and I have also downloaded some of the band from the score 'Sweet Leda' who I had never heard before. their song Lovely Molly is beautiful and cant stop humming ans singing it all day. so...the films a wee cracker.
