Lorie

About This Movie

So, 'Lorie' from 1984 is quite a piece, really. It dives deep into the psyche of a woman who's grappling with her inability to have kids. The atmosphere is heavy with a palpable sense of desperation. The pacing is slow, allowing the tension to build as she abducts a child, which is chillingly intimate. The performances are layered; you can almost feel the weight of her sorrow and obsession. The dynamic between her and the large family – with 11 other kids in the mix – adds to the emotional complexity. It's not flashy with effects or anything, but it sticks with you in a way that’s hard to shake. Definitely a nuanced drama, if you’re into that sort of thing.
