Review of Isabelle

Isabelle (I) (2018)
3/10
Good story - deserves a better director
17 November 2019
I enjoyed portions of the film while others were under-cooked, incomplete, or unnecessary. I'll give no spoilers and I see no reason to restate the description - seemed like a handful of ideas based loosely on other films. There wasn't enough character development and not enough direction. We end up post editing with a little of this and a little of that and maybe not enough of any one thing. The film wasn't all that bad but I had a difficult time getting close enough to any one character to really feel invested as an audience. The film did not have that low budget B feel which made the meandering and slower pace tolerable. Special effects are minimal and fairly well executed. The film could have been better had the director done a better job. The cast suffered because the director let them down and that let the audience down.
