Exquisite performances, satisfying cinema
Resurrection (2022)
Review by Jason M. Kohl
2/11/24
When Margaret, a single mother in the prime of her career starts seeing someone from her past that she recognizes, fight or flight kicks in as she starts running - figuratively and literally - from her demons that once possessed her twenty-two years ago.
As her daughter gets ready to flock the nest for college, Margaret seems to become more disillusioned with her past, and slowly starts reliving her trauma -- and as it starts hurting her job, family life, and social commitments, we start to learn why this trauma is so deeply intertwined with the hatred and guilt installed inside of Margaret's mind.
Hulu Originals seem to still be finding their identity, especially in the thriller/horror genre. But I must admit, this film is mysterious, the acting facilitated by Hall immaculate, with a Black Mirror-esque theme keeping you engaged throughout.
