The Lodge movie review: stuck in miserably mushy snow
This exasperating movie is so obnoxious it could be deliberately trolling us. Wants to have its ambiguous cake and eat it, too, smothered in a gloomy frosting. *extremely pinches nose in despair*

It’s hard to escape the sense that Ari Aster is getting off on Florence Pugh sobbing and screaming as he fetishizes her terror and torment. And none of it is in the pursuit of any meaning or message.
Our most honored films are Roma (five awards), The Favourite (four awards), and Can You Ever Forgive Me? (three awards).
Roma wins four awards including Best Picture; Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is Best Animated Feature.
Toni Collette fights family demons; Sylvia Syms fights to stay with her husband; Mc Linn Da Quebrada fights bigotry.
Does every wide release in North America this week feature a female protagonist or female ensemble? Wow.
The sinister ambiance has a terrible grace, but its raw and honest portrait of grief and guilt is ultimately diminished by the supernatural horror that is also at play.
