Paper Spiders (2020)

disquieting
14 March 2022
Melanie (Stefania LaVie Owen) is alone with her troubled mother Dawn (Lili Taylor) a year after the death of her father. Dawn is having problems with the neighbor but it seems to be all in her head. Melanie is pursued by troubled and lovesick Daniel (Ian Nelson).

Daniel is infuriated. Dawn is frustrating. Even Melanie can be distressing. This is a disquieting movie about mental illness. I'll be very clear. I do not like Daniel. There is nothing appealing about him although I get the appeal for some girls. Being relentlessly pursued can be very intoxicating. Melanie is hooked on a different drug. I find this movie compelling although I would like a different ending.
