Sweetheart (2019)★★★★☆

This movie started out a bit slow, and had me worried. Films relying on very little dialogue can be a bit rough, but not always a disaster (see The Monster, and Silent House which I could’ve sworn I already reviewed but apparently need to fit into this year’s schedule instead…).

And this film picked its pace up quite nicely and kept me entertained throughout. And it turns out I really like Kiersey Clemons? She was fantastic in this.

This is actually the third thing I’ve watched her in this year (the first being considerably more enjoyable than the second), and definitely my favorite performance so far.

There are some genuinely creepy moments, some pretty terrifying high-tension moments, and a LOT of deserted island scenery. But it’s not too graphic and overall it’s a fun creature feature.
