aprilabbie Review of The Lost Husband

The Lost Husband (2020)

A film that'll make you forget you're trapped in your house 💗

[10/10 · 10 April 2020]

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I read the book years ago so I was familiar with the characters and storyline. The film is well cast and the leads have a chemistry that makes you root for them to all stick together & work everything out. I think the thing that surprised me the most was how director Vicky Wight managed to make Texas itself a lead role in the film. She captured both the immensity of the Houston skyline and the charm of the small town dancehall. The shots of the central Texas countryside make you feel how its beauty and serenity could provide comfort to someone who'd lost their way. Just wish I could have seen it on the big screen (darn quarantine)
