If it's a horror movie I would classify it as a documentary of sickness happened in old times. Seeing bunch of mice being killed maybe the most scary to me. Way too long and no peak of this product.

Long, non scary movie
Not for everyone
The Yellow Wallpaper is undoubtedly one of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's best short stories. And it is not easy to capture on screen.
The story is deeply dark, as it deals with how women with mental problems were treated in the late 19th century. And told in the first person by someone who suffered it in her bones.
So I can only take my hat off to those who take on such an adventure. And if they also come out much more than successful, as is the case, I can only applaud.
K. Pontuti directs with good sense. The editing and cinematography are marvelous, but I want to stay with the performances. Jeanne O'Connor is superb in a role that is not easy to contain in the face of the protagonist's delusions. Clara Harte, in a role made for this film, is the perfect counterpoint for Alexandra Loreth. Joe Mullins does what he has to do with great talent. Alexandra Loreth! What to say about her performance, worthy of awards at festivals, an actress who reaches an extraordinary category.
In short, it is a pity that on April 1, 2022 this film has a 4'8 score, but it is not for everyone...
Glad I Didn't Live In This Time
Not sure what I expected from a gothic feminist horror film. Is A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night or Suspiria (both versions) also feminist horror?
The Yellow Wallpaper intrigued me, and after I finished, I read the original text on which it's based. Both are great, but for different reasons. The film abides by the emotion and spirit of the novella but takes on modern interpretations. I can't say what because it might give parts away.
The foreboding house and creepiness of the situation got under my skin, and I couldn't help but watch the ending in horror. Or maybe it was the tense soundtrack. I wished some scenes were shorter, but I think that of every movie I've watched (including Dune) in the last year, chalking that up to Covid isolation. But, oh hell, I think I'll watch it again with my wife.
