Good Madam – Review | Shudder Horror Movie | Heaven of Horror
Watch Good Madam on Shudder!
Jenna Cato Bass is the director of Good Madam and he or she does a superb job in some ways. As a white lady, I nonetheless discover it unusual that she is in comparison with Jordan Peele a lot. I do, nonetheless, very a lot respect the truth that the movie was based mostly on a narrative by director Jenna Cato Bass and Babalwa Baartman (a black lady).
The precise screenplay has a whopping 12 folks getting writing credit score, which could clarify why it isn’t as tight or sturdy because the movies by Jordan Peele or Ari Aster. Each make movies that this one is in comparison with. By way of type, I can see a little bit of each. However in addition they have a really sturdy storyline and this one doesn’t. To not me anyway.
I might in all probability give Good Madam a stable 2½ and nearer to three out of 5 after studying up on it. As a result of sure, I did discover it fascinating sufficient that I wished to learn extra concerning the background. Nonetheless, any film that requires me to learn up on the symbolism and message afterward, hasn’t precisely managed to convey all that it ought to by itself.
That is the rationale we finish on 2½ and since we don’t do half-stars right here, it ends on the too low 2 out of 5. Nonetheless, as already said, I did very a lot benefit from the ending.
Good Madam is out on Shudder from July 14, 2022.
