Just Got out of an Eileen Screening.
The Way Anne Hathaway Delivers that line was so Chilling and whilst I was sitting their in the cinema, when she said that line and specifically because of that Line Delivery, it was a moment of a "Oh, Here We Go" line.
I Love the Build of this Film, it's a Slow Build to that inevitable line.
Elements of the Film -
1. ⭐ We have, I would say 3 Super Strong Performances and 1 Strong Performance.
2. 🎵 The Score was really good and effective in multiple Scenes.
3a. 📜💬 The Screenplay, I loved some of the moments of "outta nowhere" gunshots happening to either themselves or other people, because of the Auditorium Being so loud, anytime it was a long prolonged quiet scene, I was just waiting on edge 😆, but it only happens 3 times. Also, all of the Dialogue was Strong, many scenes are just people talking but it was delivered well and was interesting, when you have scenes that are just people talking yet keep people engaged (me anyway), you've won half the battle.
3b. 📈The Plotline, I won't give away the Plotline but let's just say, things take a turn for the worst.
4. 🎥 The Cinematography and Edits were Solid.
And here's my 1 Major Gripe with the Film -
1. 😔 Why that Very ending? Look, I haven't read the Book but even if the book ends like that, you CANNOT end the film like that. They needed to rewrite just that Very Ending, everything up until Eileen hitches a Ride Works. Just go back a bit and do something with that "situation" that Eileen and Rebecca were in.
When the film ended, I could feel that the audience were bewildered when it ended, and everyone just got up slowly like "that's it?" 🤷
Overall, a Great watch, a Slow Build with Outstanding Performances but that Very ending just brings the film down so much (for me).

- 💗 Thomasin Mckenzie, this Girl Surely has to be a Superstar at Some Point. She does so Little(For the Most Part) in her Emoting and she's so Dialed Down(within this Film Performance), and Yet is So Effective. On top of that "You have a Plain Face" as Rebecca puts it. And Honestly, in her Case Specifically, that Plainness works in her Favour in multiple Aspects. Another thing also, she totally sells that she was in Love with Rebecca. 😍
- 💛 Anne Hathaway, what more can I say. Just so Skilled in Acting Ability and Line Delivery. She plays this Shady, Sure of Herself, Sexy character named Rebecca, who Eileen is in Love With.
- 💚 Marin Ireland, Super Strong Performance in my Opinion, she's not In the film for long but that segment near the end that she gets was Shocking as Hell and the Stakes were also Strong because of This.
- 🍻 Shea Whigham, he plays the Drunk Dad, and I really like the scenes with his character and Eileen just talking. Good acting and Strong Performance from him.
