YOUR RATING
Emily Fradenburgh in Nina of the Woods (2020)
A meditative new take on the thriller genre that follows Nina, an aspiring actress, after she agrees to lend her "local authenticity" to a supernatural reality TV show filming in the tiny town she left as a young child. She and the tiny documentary crew follow an enigmatic guide deep into a labyrinthine forest, where they seem to encounter an ancient, hypnotic force that locks the team under a subtle spell.

    Too slow for my taste

    This movie starts off slow, the middle is slow and the ending is non-existent. A few times I thought something would actually happen. It never did. I was hoping Bigfoot would attack all of them.

    Pulling teeth

    At the time of writing this review, the overall score is a solid 3 and I think that is a fair assessment. Its basically a story looking for an ending. A long road to nowheresville.

    TLDR: Avoid. You can do better with your time.

    So freakin boring with zero payoff

    I tried to like this movie. At times it seems the film is leaning towards 1 genre only to lead in another direction and it never seemed to actually fulfill anything. Some of the events feel like they could have been used to make an impact but they just end up either underwhelming or not really followed through. I felt that mysteries behind a certain characters identity was fairly obvious early on and honestly unimportant because they lacked any eventful backstory. That alone made me not care what happened to the character, Nina, and I just didn't see any significant motivation for her in any part of the movie. As one of the other reviewers suggested, the 1st three reviews of 10 stars seem highly suspect and do not seem realistic. I'm not saying that nobody will enjoy this movie, as we al have different taste. I just don't see how even fans of this movie would find it worthy of the highest possible score, let alone the first 3 reviews. Maybe partially because of the current political climate, but deceptive review practice seems incredibly insulting to the viewers.

    Wierd & Captivating

    This film will keep you watching for more. Many layers of meaning. Will definitely need to watch this again to see things ive missed first time round.

    When you step towards the magic of nature - it comes closer

    Impressive acting from all the cast. Megan Hensley has beautiful eyes, and holds a strong position throughout. Also Daniel Bielinski does well at playing a scumbag lol.

    You can tell when you have a good film because you care about the characters.

    Well done all.

    If you like mystery or sci-fi I'd give this a watch!

    I've been challenging myself to watch more movies that I'm unfamiliar with; ones that are not necessarily "trending" at the moment. I find myself more present viewing them when I do this. I stumbled across "Nina of the Woods" and am so happy I did! This genre is totally up my alley, and will be for you too if you enjoy sci-fi, thrillers, or movies that make you think and pay attention to the details. This film captures art in a very unique, thoughtful, and creative way.
