“Carousel” Starring Alexander McCabe Written by Alexander McCabe

Scenario

A woman puts her career on hold to become a stay-at-home mom, but her domesticity soon takes a surreal turn. Originally set to be released directly to streaming on Hulu, strong reception from test screenings prompted Searchlight Pictures to give it a wide theatrical release instead. Graham Norton stars: Bruce Springsteen/Amy Adams/Vanessa Williams/Bill Bailey/St. Vincent (2024). The film is overall good, but I expected it to be darker and more terrifying than comedic.

Adams is undeniably amazing

The intended audience would be parents. While I am not a parent at the moment, I can totally relate to the themes presented. If you have any questions about motherhood and female rage, this film could be enlightening for you. The script is also well written; some of the character dialogue is very sharp. Marielle Heller is definitely a talented director who can turn a seemingly impossible book into a successful film.

This is a career-defining performance

This is the best performance I have seen from her yet, and it may be the best performance I have seen this year. She is fierce, brave and funny. She really gives it her all. The depth of her performance is evident in the intricate details of her facial expressions, which beautifully convey her anger, joy and pain. Adams embodies the role of the mother with an authenticity that resonates deeply, likely stemming from her own real-life experiences as a mother.

No, definitely not

This personal connection elevates her performance, making it relatable and heartfelt. I can’t help but feel a strong connection between her portrayal and my own mother, as if she’s capturing the essence of a mother’s love and sacrifice in a way that really speaks to me. This film seems divisive so far. I’ve seen some people dismiss her performance, and many believe that Adams shouldn’t have won or even been nominated for this bizarre role. To me, acting awards are always based on the performance, not the film.

The passion shouldn’t fade

She’s the one who carries the film. She should definitely be nominated or even win. I hope more people get to know and see my thoughts. Also, Scoot McNairy is fantastic. Despite some of its flaws, the film is worth watching.
