Despite looking like a rather promising creature feature horror movie, Pollen ends up being a metaphore for the sexual abuse and metal trauma faced by women.
While being about a very real and serious subject matter , pollen is just the usual rehashed "men bad" message reheated and served in yet another format.
Quality of dialogue and atmosphere varies significantly during the movie, going from pretty decent to rather amateurish levels.
A bit sad over all, lead actress is quite good and her talentes seem a bit wasted on Pollen's meandering plot.
I personally would not reccomend this to any of my friends.

I have a very big problem with this film. Its author mocks adult women with its portrayal of a vulnerable, unsecure and abused female character and I am a male myself. There's rape on the door steps already before entering the bedroom, which the main character sublimates into love. There's toxic and highly competitive corporate white-collar work climate that the female character, portrayed like a Kimmy Schmidt minus the charisma and the smile, must navigate but she constantly mistakes the working place for a mating habitat or a romantic medium, confounds males for trees, plants for men, evening dresses for work attire, even her own 'no' for 'yes'. Thre are constant breadcrumbs left for viewers to see who's who and what leads where, like for instance the used condom on the floor, the confession that the condom was both used and not used, from a man who assesses risk for a living. Since, judging by the place she works, the viewer must think of her as highly educated and long past puberty, the only explanation I came with, for the course of events and the 'story', others may not be necessarily be in agreement with, is that the film is either a mockery dressed up as a horror, a horror dressed up as a mockery or there's a mind behind it, itself troubled, who mistakes itself as creative. A poet armed with the wrong tools, a gardener with pots of weed instead of flowers. The horror atribute of this film refers to its perceived toxicity in viewers like myself. One of those films you watch because you're not smart and don't know better (I admit it) and neither did the filmmaker expect it. From me, even 1 star is undeserved.
Because of the ridiculous minimum character count I'll be repeating myself several times. This is NOT a horror movie. I have no idea what movie the other reviewer saw, but it couldn't be this one. The characters, all are not relatable, not sympathetic and the actors portraying them just can't. Nothing redeeming about this movie. Nothing enjoyable. Do yourself a favour and pass on this one.
Not a horror, NOT a horror, not a horror, Not a horror, NOT a horror, not a horror, not a horror, NOT a horror, NOT a horror, Not a horror, NOT a Horror, Not a horror, don't be duped this is NOT a horror. No.

The synopsis for the 2023 horror movie "Pollen" certainly was something else. When I stumbled upon this 2023 horror movie from writer and director DW Medoff, of course I opted to watch it on account of it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen. And I am a big fan of all things horror after all.
But since I had never heard about the movie, I didn't know what I was in for, nor did I have any expectations. All I knew about "Pollen" was what I read in the synopsis. So I assume that writer and director DW Medoff had every opportunity to entertain and impress me.
The narrative in the movie was odd. The storyline sort of fell short of adequately entertaining me. Sure, it was a watchable movie, but I had expecting more horror, but was treated to a toxic work environment drama for the majority of the movie. Not exactly what I was expecting.
When I sat down to watch "Pollen", I was under the impression that it was a horror movie. I have to say, though, that it was not a horror movie. It was a psychological drama with very light supernatural elements to it.
I was not familiar with a single actress or actor on the cast list, and that was actually something that spoke well in favor of "Pollen", as I do enjoy watching unfamiliar and new talents on the screen. The acting performances in the movie were actually good.
Hardly a movie that warrants more than a single viewing. I wouldn't exactly say that "Pollen" is a movie that I would recommend horror fans to rush out and get to watch.
My rating of writer and director DW Medoff's 2023 movie "Pollen" lands on a four out of ten stars.

Honestly I didn't understand what I was watching. But what I think in the end, this may have just a been very unique way of telling a story about a young new hire junior analyst female being taking advantage of by her male coworker sexually who happened to be the veep and her boss and after being duped and dumped by him harbors repressed feelings of hurt in the form of a conjured up tree monster that causes her to come unhinged because she didn't know how to deal with those repressed feelings. At first I wasn't really sure what to make of the story because it started of odd, became more interesting, went full on crazy and then calmed itself back down to being a comprehensive thought out story. A one time watch, toss when finish.
