Right … I think I can say I trued watching a movie last night.
The Jessica Hausner directed Little Joe.
The colour palette’s lovely, I should stress.
The basic idea — Frankenstein’s Monster is a genetically modified plant — is good.
But it really didn’t keep my attention.
The acting was good: but possibly a little too restrained.
The pacing … ?
Just a little too slow.
Granted, what I saw of it had at least one jump-scare …
But … ?
Little Joe only kept my attention for about fifty minutes … I turned off halfway through.
For all Little Joe is well made and (possibly) acted?
It’s not stunning.

Oh … I mentioned — at some point last week — I was expecting a new neighbour to move into the flat, next door.
The lights being left on was something of a clue.
Well … I’ve met them: and helped them find their electricity and gas meters.
Hopefully, they’ll do well: they seem nice.
