    Angel of Mine (2019)

    Years after losing her daughter in a fire, a woman’s mental state takes a turn for the worse when she starts thinking that she is still alive.

    Have you ever started watching a film without knowing anything about it other than that something, down the line, somewhere, is going to really go sideways, and you just don’t know what that is?

    Well, Angel of Mine happens to be one of them. A constant agony of what Lizzie (Noomi Rapace) is gonna totally screw up to the highest degree. The film’s success relies on that, and it achieves it. Part of the reason is that kids are involved, and part of it is because adults like her are involved.

    As the slow burn escalates, while nothing really substantial happens, you won’t stop wondering how far is she gonna take it?! And then it’s the ending… but I’m gonna leave that up to you. My only comment is that Fatal Attraction (1987) was that successful because of that kind of escalation; that climax. Congratulations to Noomi Rapace and Yvonne Strahovski for their remarkable performances.

    Over the years, I have convinced myself that a film should not have a single mood from the beginning to the end. Angel of Mine is unsettling and dead creepy throughout. And even though that’s not a plus, the abyss of the human mind, the vastness of its capabilities, the infinite goodness, but also its unfathomable limits to cause pain in any shape or form can be terrifying.
