𝔡𝔞𝔯𝔠𝔶Feb 2, 2021SUNDANCE 2021: film #33 “there is something going on between us that i cannot unravel” oh lord. this is poetic in a way but also reads like a horror movie. the chemistry between katherine and vanessa is real but it rarely gets a chance to shine, most of the narrative…

every line spoken by vanessa & katherine sounds so poetic and then it comes time for christopher abbott to read one of their letters and he sounds like the boy from your english class that was half asleep and the teacher called on him to read aloud the next page of a book.…

here i am, again posting about period piece sapphics, the chemistry and yearning were all very lovely, but every time i was vibing with the ladies, a man appeared demanding attention and i just didn’t want to be reminded of their presence I think more men should die in movies!

Lovise lovedThe World to ComeThe most lesbian movie I’ve ever seen
- Ashley lovedThe World to Come
This is a really good movie! You can feel all the tension that the two women had and you could see them falling in love with each other without them even saying anything. This movie has a special place in my heart ❤️
Nicole likedThe World to ComeThis movie is fantastic. You will root for Tillie and Abigail the entire time due to the amazing actor performances… but please do not watch this movie if you are looking for a happy ending 😭

Despite the terrific set design in The World to Come, the characters don’t feel at home in it; they do very little farm work, for example. Still, Waterston and Kirby do achieve an intimacy that operates as a warm fire warding off the chilliness around them. It’s too bad we were left out in the cold.

The immersive look of the film, with its strikingly unadorned landscapes and dim-lit interiors, casts a spell, and Waterston (the Fantastic Beasts franchise) and Kirby (The Crown, Pieces of Woman), bring both urgency and fragility to their constrained characters — two lost souls aligned and finding love in a hopeless place.

Waterston and Kirby are both superb at creating characters whose attraction must be shown to grow by degrees, without overt admission. Affleck and Abbott, too, navigate a tricky dynamic, playing men who perhaps lack an understanding of their own compassion or brutishness.
