Violet

About This Movie

Violet is an interesting exploration of self-discovery, crafted by Justine Bateman. The film's tone is pretty introspective, and you can really feel the weight of her character's internal struggle. There’s this innovative use of voiceover that brings Violet’s inner thoughts to the forefront, almost like a character in its own right. The pacing can feel a bit slow at times, but it serves the buildup to Violet's realizations. Performances are solid, with Olivia Munn carrying the emotional depth well. What sets it apart is its raw honesty about fear dictating choices, a theme that’s relatable yet rarely explored so intimately in films. It's not flashy, but it lingers in your mind after viewing.
