Lisey's Story (2021)
7/10
Mysterious Atmospheric Surreal Nightmare
30 August 2021
I never read the book and maybe that's a good thing. 3 episodes in, I'm completely hooked it's weird but so beautifully shot there are scenes so sumptuous brooding and dark it makes you want to understand. The relationship between a writer and his wife of just a few short years. She learns about her husband's past through a series of clues he left behind. Meanwhile she is menaced by a super fan as her own subling suffers a mental break. It all comes together as you get closer to the end. There are shocking scenes of brutality juxtaposed with these fantastic colorful dreamlike states. Stephen King wrote the screenplay himself this is not often a good thing but Pablo Larrain deftly directs this mini-series every episode and he does so with satisfying results. Julianne Moore gives one of her best performances.i gave it a 7 out of 10 because I think editing out an hour could have made it better and improved the pace.
