Zombi Child [Film Review]

This is one of those films that is simultaneously captivating and irritating, yet because of these conflicting elements, it is undeniably watchable. Also, because of this I am not quite sure what my final takeaway is.
The film is a bit disjointed, not only in its storytelling, but also in yerms of its overall mood. It freely bounces between 1960s Haiti and present day France; the misrepresentation of history seems to be the underlying theme, as well as privileged white people's cultural appropriation.
While the film is visually arresting, the pacing is extremely languid and then bugged out finale leaves more unanswered questions than I care to have left lingering.
Still, an interesting, albeit somewhat frustrating watch.

Rating: 3.5/5
