She Will gained a lot of critical acclaim. It was voted film of the week by Mark Kermode in The Guardian and had largely favourable reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. I think it's mediocre at best.

An ageing actress goes to a remote highland retreat after a double mastectomy with her assistant played by Kota Eberhardt. Weird stuff keeps happening. There's some stuff with crystals which is never explained, sludgy liquid coming out of the earth and Alice Krige has flashbacks.

The film was billed as a feminist witchcraft film. We learn Veronica (Krige) was the victim of sexual abuse as a 13 year old in her early film Navajo Frontier, it's never explained if she did a film since or was simply a childhood actress. Which begs the question why is she still front page news in her golden years. We also see Desi (Kota Eberhardt) have suffer some sexual abuse by a man in a pub. In this scene we learn Veronica is protecting Desi with witchcraft and the man gets drowned in the muddy ground. Veronica sexually abusive director also dies by falling off a set of stairs which is called suicide. The director played by Malcolm McDowell is obviously based on Roman Polanski and possibly Harvey Weinstein. The message could be rapists must die. It's clumsily handled and very unsubtle compared to a film like Darling which has a similar message or even more unsubtle films like Dirty Weekend or A Gun For Jennifer which are more rape and revenge films it seems a bit dull as we've seen it all before.

The film has a lot of atmosphere and a great Clint Mansell soundtrack which sounds like the fairytale music of Danny Elfman with an electronic edge. The film for me isn't clever, intelligent or unique but it is well made.
