Such a frustrating disappointment

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Boring

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

I'm actually wondering if this is a piece of antisemitic misogyny. In your face..literally. Crap.

On the surface, Malady is a film about the burgeoning relationship of a young couple, and the slow unravelling of the secrets that they both keep. At its core though, Malady deals with themes of obsession, possession, and shame. It becomes a close and personal examination of how psychological baggage can drive any relationship to its breaking point.The tight-in, held held shooting style lends the film a level of intimacy that can often border voyeuristic discomfort. This only serves to build a level of tension that, scene by scene, ratchets up to a finale wherein every single word uttered and every action made seems to have immense gravity and potential consequence.No, it's probably not a date night film, but it's dark, it's weird, it's well constructed, and above all, it's thoughtful. It's an accomplished debut, and a real breath of fresh air for UK indie cinema.

Ishtar was better than this.Save your two hours and pull out your toenails instead.Screws his dead mother and then roll credits.Just horrible.

Wow I don't even know where to start talking about this film that is more something you experience rather than talk about. This is so far from mainstream filmmaking that you can get. There is very little dialogue but what's said means so much and this film is not only disturbing and off putting but it is oozing atmosphere. The film feels like it's constantly shot in closeup so it feels so intimate but also claustrophobic at the same time. The score here is absolutely fantastic and to me it's what makes this film as powerful as it is.Holly played by Roxy Bugler is dealing with the death of her mother who's dying wish is that she finds love. She quickly connects with Matthew played by Kemal Yildirim who she meets at a restaurant. Eventually they become close but Matthew receives a call about his own Mother and that's when things begin to spiral out of control.There are strange happenings throughout the film and not once does the film tell you what they mean. There is no spoon feeding of information or exposition. When the film ends you will be frustrated beyond belief at not getting any answers but if you think about what you've seen hard enough all the answers are there. If you love slow burn films that lean more to the art-house side of things there is so much to enjoy and discover. 4.5/5 stars.
