MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

meydiana-65242 I love this drama movie. Family is everything.. The plot is too melodramatic... but anyway, I love it

Pjtaylor-96-138044 'The Secret Of Marrowbone (2018)' is full of good ideas, most of which are unfortunately executed slightly poorly. It isn't until the flick's finale that any of these ideas conflate into something worthwhile, something that provokes a genuine - and even guttural - reaction when it occurs, but even this is marred by a certain feeling of unoriginality, if not quite predictability, and an incredibly silly conceit, the absurdity of which is especially evident in retrospect and takes away from the initial proper horror of certain elements involving it. The eponymous 'secret' also falls apart slightly because of its representation and, to a degree, the execution of its reveal, as opposed to its concept or even necessarily its wider implications. To be fair, it does liven up proceedings - essentially paying you back for your previous 'good faith' during the piece's duller moments. It adds another layer to a picture that constantly toes the line of being too generic to stand apart from the crowd, giving it that special something to compound its 'worth' and make it feel like it was, at least, worth your time. Ironically, it makes it seem like it's trying to ape a certain subsection of its genre (one filled with many better, and inevitably more original, films) in the process, though. Some moments of the feature also fail to live up to scrutiny in retrospect and the final message is mixed, to say the least, even if the movie would have you believe it is an entirely positive one. Still, at least the picture is interesting. 6/10

kirstyako I am an absolute horror enthusiastic person who loves it when they deliver the thrills, spooks & extraordinary characters. I felt this had all ticks in the box for a horror but it especially had something different which made it unique & I will definitely be putting this film in my top 50 films.

gabnatbax Marrowbone, or - The Secret of Marrowbone, seems confused. Difficult in fact to call it a Horror film, as the only scares in the film come from sudden slamming of doors or jittery movements of rodents. The film gets too excited by its own twists and turns by the end of the film, leaving you confused and unsure whether what you have seen and learnt has had any value at all. The film has some nice cinematography as well as some decent performances from all of the main cast - not including the youngest child in the family, 'Sam', who is dreadful. Nothing exceptional in Marrowbone, but nothing offensively bad either, and after seeing creative and ambitious horror films such as 'Hereditary', it just seems flat by comparison.
