Review of Grace

Grace (I) (2014)
1/10
PERFECT IF YOU NEED MOTIVATION TO END IT ALL
19 July 2021
I don't get why anyone would want to watch a POV movie. This is, by far, the best (worst) example of why you shouldn't do it. The director belongs in jail. Blair Witch Project was a one-off. A freak of nature and something I couldn't stomach. Basically, Grace is a few million dollars wasted. I couldn't even find it on Box Office Mojo. All I felt was frustration for about 99 % of it. POV should only be used for effect in a scene here in there. And sparingly. Like a bad acid trip, for example. You cast a beautiful actress and only show her once in a while in a mirror? Come on! That camera should have been all over her. Respect your demographic (14 yo boys) and exploit that girl to the max. Any decent producer would have insisted on it. I won't even mention the lame, tired script and clumsy mise-en-scene. The priest nonsense at the end was unbearable. Ignore the positive reviews here. A typically bad Canadian movie where personality and smooth talkers get government funding and not ability or talent. Watch only if you really need a reason to take a step off that ledge.
