I think it’s time for me to finally eat my words because I got it that I asked and I don’t know how I feel. A point of criticism that I always had about a certain psychological thriller is how the “unreliable female protagonist” trope has become tired and overwhelming, because there is always a kind of third -party act that the caller from the house was actually her repressed memories to pursue it or something similarly disappointing and incredible. observerThe currently on the Netflix Top 10 film list is in 5th place on the Netflix Top 10 has shown that you do not need a protagonist who is emotionally unstable and shortly before a nervous breakdown because your paranoia is actually justified, and you do not swallow in every second scene, which you question every step of the way.
While I have mixed feelings observer In order to do exactly what I wanted (the grass is always greener, isn’t it?), It is one of the better psychological thrillers that I have seen lately because it creates a completely different kind of fear – one that does not come from an unknown source of terror, but is open to the fact that everyone is promoted as delusion.
I have the feeling that someone is watching me!
In Observer, Maika Monroes Julia has every reason not to feel out of her element when she moved to Bucharest with her husband Francis (Karl Glusman) so that he could concentrate on his work.
Francis, who clearly does quite well for himself, spends a long time away from the new home of the couple, while Julia, a woman between possibilities after leaving her acting aspirations in the United States so that she could remain close to Francis, has not understood a solid understanding that you learn the language and assimilates in her new time in her new time in her new time Exercise spread.
Julia, who is isolated in her new life situation, is afraid when she noticed the figure of a man behind the curtains who stares into her apartment all day long. Julia’s fears will constantly look at the daily messages to delve into the language and local events, and are confirmed after you have heard reports about you Serial killer Known as “The Spider”, who made headlines to contain the women he appears.
Stand out from similarly framed psychological thrillers, observer Never let them question Julia’s mental condition, but they feel first -hand because they feel paranoia and disillusioning first hand because they white She is observed and followed by a potential serial killer, but nobody believes her. Francis speaks to her because he believes that her imagination is running wildly, and if the authorities are committed, they have reason to assume that Julia is the one who does all of the stalking because, to be fair, by Daniel Weber (Burn Gorman), the man who follows her and wants to confront him with his foreign behavior.
Turn the script over
While there was a part of me who wanted observer In order to be a little more ambiguous in his delivery, I have made peace with the fact that the writer/director Chloe Okuno turned the script and decided to never ask you exactly what is going on, even if the story of Julia’s is limited and increasingly (but rightly) paranoid’s perspective is told.
observer Is not your typical psychological thriller. It is a cut over its contemporaries because the secondary form of the antagonism of the film is as Julia actually collects evidence of this proven It is followed by a concrete threat that hides in the shade, while everyone in their support network is in the opinion that everything is in their heads, and they prompted them in all way to spirals they would expect.
It doesn’t take much time to understand what is actually going on observer Because Julia never once wolf or acted out of her own pocket that you actually need a large unveiling or payout to understand your situation. observer follows a different approach and shows how scary it can be for a young woman to go alone in the unknown area. In addition, Julia does not collapse because she questions her own reality, but because she knows what she is experiencing, is real and everyone else would rather assume that she is dramatic because she has too much time in her hands.
At the time of this letter you can stream observer on Netflix.
