The Blazing World

Sundance 2021 A blend of horror-ish and fantasy, The Blazing World has compelling visuals, but a story that I didn’t quite care for. As the film went along I found myself getting more and more invested into the film, but the first act didn’t start off on a good note. I’ve never been a terribly big fan of horror/fantasy crossovers, and this film certainly isn’t going to change my mind. It’s a decent film in the end, but nothing that I’m too excited about. Carlson Young does have a lot of promise as a filmmaker though, so she will definitely be a director who will be on my radar in the future.
