The Institute (2017)
7/10
Interesting film
30 December 2018
I am a little curious as to the incredibly low score for this film. It's a much better watch then the reviews would lead you to believe. It is a little muddled in terms of tone, it doesn't quite know what it wants to be, but in terms of its relevance I thought it rather good. During The Victorian Era it was quite commonplace for women to be placed in an Institution, for behaving in a manner that wasn't deemed 'ladylike.' The film is inspired by real life events, and it's definitely worth reading of the events that occurred at The Rosewood Center, which only closed its doors in 2009.

The acting was rather good, Allie Gallerani and Scott Haze, were both excellent I thought. It's almost impossible to spot Pamela Anderson, but she's there. The Nurse was great, so chilling.

Don't watch the trailers, ignore the bad reviews, and give it a chance, it's not brilliant, but it's certainly interesting. 7/10
