Eileen

Better than I expected it to be. I went in not knowing much and was pleasantly surprised with how dark it was. I hated the character of the father, Jim. B+

Though Anne and Thomasin do some great acting, it simply isn't enough to give this movie any meaning at all. In fact I even nodded off close to the end. 3/10 points.

The leading ladies working at this jail are cast so spot on. Eileen's a weirdo with a drunk ex cop for a dad. Hathaway is a prison shrink. When one of the inmates confesses why he killed his dad, things unravel...and end that way.

For the love of god, please stop ending movies this way. It has become a widespread trend to end films in an ambiguous, and lazy way. So many great films with good acting, good setting, good characters, that suddendly decide that the best way to end the film is letting lose ends all over the place. I'm watching the film to hear a whole story, not imagine the whole third act in my head

It was an interesting movie that wasn't at all what I expected. It's not horrible, it's not great.

I couldn't get past the horrible portrayal of the Boston accent by Thomasin McKenzie, it's not even close and is completely distracting from the get go. Was very disappointed the rest of the movie. Pass.

As good as the book, love Ottessa

The power source for Eileen isn't the the actor playing the title character, Thomasin McKenzie, it is, Rebecca, performed by Anne Hathaway. Eileen is low in self-esteem and burdened by an alcoholic and mentally unhealthy single parent that she must care for. Rebecca has her own set of problems but its her actions to sets the story in motion. McKenzie is a fine actor but it the scriptwriter did her no favors until the movie's third act.

Thomasin McKenzie plays the loser girl character really well. The movie benefits from the well-written source material.

McKenzie and Hathaway give nuanced ranged performances in this remarkably lit and beautifully shot character study
