Even with that, that is still giving this steaming pile of poo emoji entirely too much credit. The lead is not easy on the eyes, overweight and unattractive as others have already said, they weren't stretching the truth, talentless hack should be added to the list. Whatever this nonsense is she calls "music" is well not any good. What's even a little funny but really just sad is the movie tries to play off like she's some established musician which just makes it all that much worse. Everything in this movie is fake and bad, her fake and bad acting, her fake and bad smoking, her fake and bad drinking, her really fake and bad "music"
I hesitate to call this a slow burn, cause it never even catches a spark to start to slow burn. Anywho read the other reviews, others have made comical points about the movie that are true and made me laugh a little.
In fact, I'd almost say the reviews are more entertaining than the movie. Skip this if you value your time at all.

No idea who thought having a musician deal with their creative process in an isolated cabin would be a good scenario for a horror film (and perhaps it could've been), but here it's an exercise in patience as NOTHING happens for 99% of the running time.
Non-existent plot, nothing even slightly scary, THE STRINGS is an epic waste of time. Just ... wow.

Like watching an 89 year old guy with prostate issues take a leak. It's a very long drawn out process, but not too much actually comes out. Anti-climactic and scenes are long and drawn out. The story building is like a bad massage without the happy ending. If you didn't watch this movie, your life will be no different than if you did. The only thing good about it was the acting, it seemed real. For that, 2 stars.... out of 100.
The only thing I liked about this movie was the music. I so would buy an album from her. The rest of the movie had no plot and seemed to go nowhere. Watched on Shudder. Unfortunately, I expected more from them.
Despite some gorgeous cinematography, this film fails to deliver anything worthwhile. Unconvincing performances, lackluster character building and a story that fails to do much of anything combine to deliver a truly awful film. Don't waste your time.
