Review of A Banquet

A Banquet (2021)
7/10
There is a LOT to Unpack Here...

I watched this movie this evening and...WOW. There's a lot of unpack. From what I've seen, this is what I unpacked: It's a film about loss and grief, mental illness, an existential dread of what happens next, where we go from here, and what's the point of all of this, and there's an underpinning of a supernatural event that may or may not have happened.

As the movie progresses, you're unsure whether or not Holly's eldest daughter, Betsey, has been chosen to do something, or it's all in her head. Holly experiences the same event that Betsey does and...was it real? Was it all in their heads? It's really up to you to decide. If you like slow, weird movies, this will be in your wheelhouse. If not, then I wouldn't recommend it. A solid film, 7/10.
