Review of Fresh Kills

Fresh Kills (2023)
6/10
Interesting little indie attempt
25 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
An interesting indie that is trying to offer a unique perspective into the lifes of the women of organized crime. Even tho the movie starts promising and has some good and powerful scenes in it. It also gets swallowed by stereotypes and outdated directions. Like copying the infamous scene of a little girl that's being.pampered up by his mother and allowing the main female protagonists to have an enlightening through it and realization that she's being trapped like James Cameron allowed Rose to have on the titanic. Our packing the classic car scene that every female driven indie must have in its attempt to try and become the new Thelma and Luise. It also becomes emotionally manipulative at times trying to direct the viewers feelings towards a certain narrative instead of allowing the art in it to be fluid.

Odessa Azion and the other girl definitely carried the movie but at the same time let all the other performances next to them fall flat. I couldn't understand if the Mum was just bad at acting or her role was supposed to be jumping in and out of mental illness.
