Just watched this & have no idea what was going on or what is was about. Must be for people who have read the book. ...
I genuinely like all four of the core cast members of _We Have Always Lived in the Castle_ especially Daddario, and they're all good in this, and there are a couple of scenes here with genuine tension, but the reality is that by the end of movie, I'd spent half of the runtime straight-up bored. ... _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
