The Yellow Wallpaper is undoubtedly one of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's best short stories. And it is not easy to capture on screen.
The story is deeply dark, as it deals with how women with mental problems were treated in the late 19th century. And told in the first person by someone who suffered it in her bones.
So I can only take my hat off to those who take on such an adventure. And if they also come out much more than successful, as is the case, I can only applaud.
K. Pontuti directs with good sense. The editing and cinematography are marvelous, but I want to stay with the performances. Jeanne O'Connor is superb in a role that is not easy to contain in the face of the protagonist's delusions. Clara Harte, in a role made for this film, is the perfect counterpoint for Alexandra Loreth. Joe Mullins does what he has to do with great talent. Alexandra Loreth! What to say about her performance, worthy of awards at festivals, an actress who reaches an extraordinary category.
In short, it is a pity that on April 1, 2022 this film has a 4'8 score, but it is not for everyone...
