Joyland (2022)
5/10
Okay-ish drama
2 January 2024
It's an okay-ish drama. There were moments I enjoyed, but the movie as a whole wasn't that gripping for me. The movie makes an effort to tell stories of multiple characters, but each one felt incomplete. Would have liked to see more.

It had some good performances. Sarwat Gilani, the actor who played the character Nucchi, was my favorite. She didn't have that much screentime, but in the time she got, she put up a great performance.

The cinematography was nice. The aspect ratio gives off a claustrophobic vibe, which I think is to represent the boxed-in feeling the characters have. The movie also had some beautiful frames.
