Adalynn

The subject matter is real and this movie takes your there . Powerful performance by Sydney and the Dr . Makes you think this could really happen. I would love to see more from this cast . The reality of postpartum depression is chilling and this film reminds you of all the horror stories you hear in real life, yet it remains tabu to talk about . Makes for a very interesting but scary subject . No one could have predicted the ending they take you through so many doors that you are sure of nothing until the end . Keeps your interest though . I don't often watch horror or psychological thrillers but this one held my attention , like the "Shinning " or "Shutter Island " I'm glad I didn't pass it up .

I figured the outcome of this not even remotely original movie very early on. Let just say that boxes that came in the mail (or I guess from Amazon since it's this time and age) were a give away. I guess they figured, "who the heck will remember the first one, probably those people are all dead by now." Well considering that one of my doctorates was in psychology, I did remember. I was surprised that the husband was actually the husband, since this one did say he was the husband. I guess that made it an original. LOL This subject has been used multiple times in movies. If you are younger than me by a lot you may like it.

This movie deals with mental health issues and uncomfortable parental tragedies that could be triggering for some viewers. Otherwise, "Adalynn" is a layered descent into madness that aims to put the viewer in the title character's shoes. Some may be put off by this, but the director really captures and illustrates the frustration and confusion Adalynn faces throughout the film.

At times, it's uncomfortable. Other times, it can be heartbreaking. Some parts may intentionally squeeze a chuckle out of you. But if there's a takeaway from this film, it's that it really calls out the real-life taboos about postpartum struggles mothers often feel like they need to keep secret.

This underrated thriller may divide audiences, but it's worth a watch nonetheless.

I actually passed out when my wife put this on, so i can't give a solid review. The song that played through the end credits though, i loved it, and i can't find it. I tried shazam and googling different segments of lyrics; no dice. Can anyone help me out?

I need to fill this space with words just so i can post this question, i dont know where else to ask otherwise i wouldent waste time or space here. Dang, this part is going to be longer than the orgional question at hand. And i still need 100 characters at this point. I suppose ill make waffles for breakfast today and a ham sandwhich for lunch.

It seems a little underrated, honestly. I would say it probably should have had a description that even sort of touched on how potentially triggering to a select kind of audience it would be potentially problematic for, but I get the feeling that was kind of the point. The description was vague, there isn't a lot of context given unless you watch it. If you have the hyper vigilance like I do, it will all make sense along the way. There are details super small for support which is actually brilliant. So many tiny clues, though if you miss them? You're not lost without them.

I knew what the end would be to some degree, which is almost always the case with movies/shows, though still found myself a bit off at the point. I knew it was coming, fully expected the outcome, and yet it still felt like I needed to make sure I was right. That should be skipped by a larger, though still not huge, group of people who might be triggered by it. With good reason, I might add. Think serious mental health issues, without giving the whole thing away. If this is a sensitive subject for you? Please skip the movie. Though there is something to be said about the portion that speaks to bringing awareness and the idea that shame forces a masking behavior. It's deeper than it comes across.

It's definitely not rated according to the brain of someone that appreciates the layers of the story more than the budget. And frankly? It probably wouldn't have been so worth the watch with a higher budget. If you can bring yourself to watch it, you'll understand why. That's not to say movies with a similar plot line haven't been made, as with almost every other movie you will see. Obviously the horror concept relates to a very real occurrence in mental health which a million other movies could touch on as well. The likelihood of understanding the mental illness exists, has been part of true crime stories with a different plot line, and even possibly knowing someone who has the symptoms in real life? That's the horror aspect. That's the root. Which is kind of a brilliant way to label horror as an avid horror movie watcher. It's a different take than a slasher or paranormal thriller. I would recommend for my reasons, but again? Not for all.
