年轻的母亲2

The casting of Nicolas Cage is not quite right for this film. As a well-established actor, he carries this tone of absurdity, of amusement and comicality with him wherever he goes and whatever he does, which is great and truly effective in itself, but comes off as quite jarring in this film. Simply put, he is too funny to go with this heavily bleak, eerie, and devastatingly beautiful film. Elsewise, the film is a solid and audacious cinematic adaptation of Lovecraft's mystical story. #Mayhem2019
