Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With a box office flop and little lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for anyone who wants something that moves them and anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead. It's about loss, handled with care rather than melodrama. Same wavelength as The Invisible Man or Frenzy.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 2 hr 2 min.
- What might put you off
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
While walking home from her latest OB appointment, a very pregnant Esther Woodhouse is brutally attacked and disfigured by a hooded assailant. This horrible event seems to be a blessing in disguise when Esther finds consolation in a support group. Her life of sadness and solitude is opened up to friendship, understanding, and even acceptance. However, friendship and understanding can be very dangerous things when accepted by the wrong people.
