When I sat down to watch the 2022 drama "Ashgrove", I had actually never heard about the movie. And from the movie's cover, I was somehow assuming that this movie was perhaps a thriller of sorts. But with it being a movie that I had never seen, of course I opted to give it a chance.
And a chance it got, and I made it about halfway through. Then I just simply tossed the towel into the ring out of sheer and utter boredom. This movie was insanely slow paced and monotonous. It was essentially just a movie about two people trying to deal with relationship problems. And it didn't help much to entertain me that the dialogue was very unappealing and lacking interest, and the characters just didn't strike me as being interesting either.
I am sure that the acting performances in "Ashgrove" were fair enough, just a shame that writers Amanda Brugel, Jonas Chernick and Jeremy LaLonde didn't churn out anything worthwhile for the screen.
And you know when the movie is starring the people that also wrote the script, then it doesn't usually bode all that well.
I have zero intention of returning to watch the rest of "Ashgrove", because it was just simply too much of a boring and pointless ordeal.
My rating of director Jeremy LaLonde's 2022 movie "Ashgrove" lands on a two out of ten stars.
