Simultaneously intelligent and absorbing; a gothic psychological thriller that continuously challenges the audience’s perception of reality without coming to any definitive conclusions.
Full review by Chris Pandolfi.
PopBucket writes: The Moth Diaries has all the necessary cliches to be a good gothic film but it never quite gels or manages to create an atmosphere, whilst the mythology just seems confused. Worth a watch once for its great cast of actresses, but otherwise pretty bland.
The Playlist:
Director Mary Harron has never shied away from edgy material. Her early career was marked by the wicked one-two punch of "I Shot Andy Warhol" and of course, the contemporary classic "American Psycho." She followed up those films with the pinup biopic "The Notorious Bettie Page" and has also peppered her CV with TV work on shows as diverse as "Big Love," "Oz" and "Homocide: Life On The Streets." It's coming on seven years since her last feature effort, but the director is returning this year with "The Moth Diaries."
This is another one of those weird films that you really don't know what to make of from the trailer. They've made a lot of them and they are all the same just different people but basically the same story.
