Review of Dear Child

Dear Child (2023)
6/10
Interesting plot
9 September 2023
An interesting plot is ruined by an overly selfconscious direction and questionable casting decisions.

Constant flashbacks make it hard to get drawn into this drama. With the bungling and unrealistic police team not helping, it becomes a task to follow the zealous film crew to the revelation of the plot.

As a viewer, there are too few opportunities to get to know the characters. Their decisions are often psychologically unsound.

Locations are rarely pictured from a wider perspective, so they feel like decor rather than real life locations. Probably a conscious choice.

Even so, I'm hanging on to find out what happened.
