Review of Mrs. Davis

Mrs. Davis (2023)
9/10
A fable for our times
21 May 2023
Wow, they stuck the landing!

Mrs Davis was quirky and enigmatic, and by that I mean of course that Simone (Betty Gilpin) was quirky and enigmatic - and a well judged safe pair of hands to bring this story home.

This was quite a ride - utterly bonkers - and yet quite real, and massively entertaining.

I'm not going into any details at all, that journey is uniquely for the viewer to traverse, but for my money this is top shelf storytelling - a timely parable for our times, one told with a light touch on a weighty topic - delightful pathos, and a sober reminder of what is at stake...

And what we risk stuffing up by not paying attention and being in the game of our own lives.

Brilliantly conceived and executed - 9.5.
