6/10
Pearl was weird. I felt so helpless with her meandering existence and so appalled by her resorting to becoming a serial killer with stardom on her mind and vanity as motive. It was relatable and sad how the pain turned into a macabre obsession. Her killing her parents and anyone close was horrifying as it all seemed so circumstantial. I really enjoyed X and seeing the evolution of the old woman was interesting as a prologue.
Loved the rural setting and time with the daydreaming of stardom stacked upon stagnation and ambition. Hated the humping of the scarecrow. Wasn’t sure where that was going but I’m sure crows didn’t visit that site for a minute so, effective.
