""Marmalade" is worth a watch
if you’re a fan of its cast (and I am). The opening is intriguing, but the pace slows a bit until it picks up steam again at the halfway point with some cunning #plottwists, leading to a lightbulb moment ending.
The sarcasm of the black prison cellmate, Otis, and the depictions of the main characters, Baron and Marmalade, kept me engaged. So did the "Once Upon A Time" storytelling style, where the narrative shifts between present and past.
⭐️3/5⭐️ for the strong performances by the actors and the well-crafted characters."
"This movie surprised me in a good way. Although the first half was a tad bit slow, I see it was necessary to set up the back story. So, around the halfway mark things begin to ramp up and there are a couple of good twists thrown in, that make this one reminiscent of The Usual Suspects... Just a little. The actors playing the main characters all do a great job, but Camila Morrone delivers a standout performance as Marmalade. This was a cool little movie that I didn't expect to like as much as I did. 8/10"
"if you need ur faith restored in creative storytelling, TURN THIS ON!!! the kind of movie you gotta go in not knowing a thing. unfortunately i think i knew a little too much. still really really great and such a fun pace i LOVED the directing, it was delightfully over the top. i love the small town big dreams vibes. the ending was soooo good my only complaint is that i wanted to live in it a bit longer.
