A review by megelizabeth
Lakewood by Megan Giddings

dark emotional tense

3.0

This has a great premise and explores really important themes - I particularly appreciated how honestly and frankly it gets to the root of poverty and the desperate situations and decisions it can lead people to - but sadly it didn't quite work for me overall. It's very trippy and dreamlike and disconcerting - which would have been fine had there been more to the ending, but, while there are a few well-done creepy bits throughout, in the end it all just falls a bit flat. I was left feeling pretty distant and a bit confused and I just unfortunately don't think this had the impact that it could have done with the same concept but better execution.
