An absolute cinematic disaster.

In 1970s Los Angeles, the legendary ghost La Llorona is stalking the night -- and the children. Ignoring the eerie warning of a troubled mother, a social worker and her own kids are drawn into a frightening supernatural realm. Their only hope of surviving La Llorona's deadly wrath is a disillusioned priest who practices mysticism to keep evil at bay.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in The Curse of La Llorona?

Honestly, The Curse of La Llorona would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

The cinematography in The Curse of La Llorona is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Look, I wanted to love The Curse of La Llorona. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Hot Take: The Curse of La Llorona's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Director clearly thought The Curse of La Llorona was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
