A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

While the film is absolutely adequate when it comes to cinematography, it lacks in all the other aspects. It feels like the film was made to show Moss' potential to the world. The script has a little bit something which could be perfect but the director seems to putter way to much with the image and the cinematography of his work than really see his heroines. With a story-line so Bergman-like this film was so promising, and for sure it is a work of art, but it just leaves you so unsatisfied that you feel you wasted one and a half hour of your life. The music,although it was superb, was so much that it felt like it overshadowed the whole work and I just couldn't get a moment of silence because it was covering it all.I give it a 5 out of 10 for cinematography, Elizabeth Moss, and the final monologue towards the end. The end left me so unsatisfied that it almost felt like suffocating.

Films are made for many purposes and I don't know what this one is about. They say it is a psychological-thriller, but yes, there is some psychology in it, but definitely no thriller, just a boring drama which means a character study material. The entire film was shot in a lake house and occasionally its surrounding area. There is no story in it, just the characters and they're being themselves that narrated in the days basis for a week, but those days were from the random years without a clear picture of what date, month or the year.There is lots of close up shots like it pushes you back from your seat suppose if you are leaning towards the front. The cinematography was what I felt uncomfortable, but overall not bad. I think the actors were good, both Katherine Waterston and Elisabeth Moss, just for this film because I've seen them in the better roles.Low budget and limited cast film, as well as short but not sweet as I anticipated. So I don't think everybody would enjoy it, I don't know who is the target audience, but I'm sure it will reach them who are going to defend it from people like me. Those who are not seen it, but want to, I only advise them to be careful while choosing it.3/10

"Queen of Earth" is a difficult, disturbing movie. It reminds me of Altman's "3 Women", with the use of unbearable silence, dissonant soundtracks, and characters whose motivations are hard to understand, in situations hard for us to contextualise. It is not as haunting as that movie, though, and therefore not as good. I don't think this is one I'm going to be thinking about much after having seen it.The plot concerns two "best friends" who go away for a week together despite the fact that they don't seem to like each other much. One, the main character, has just been dumped by her boyfriend who was with her when she went away with the same best friend last year. There is also a guy, kind of like an antagonist, who was with the friend last year and has shown up this year again, much to the protagonist's discomfort.There are some very intense scenes, such as the main character breaking down at a party, and the movie seems to be becoming an enthralling descent into madness, but then it abruptly changes gear, and not for the first time. It's not going to give you any easy answers like that, but in this case, I also came up short on questions.

Enjoyable performance by Elisabeth Moss that mesmerizes viewer keeping the suspense high, but honestly it is misleading to call it a thriller... No thriller at all, if we omit the music that yes could be from a thriller. Congratulations to the director for making uninteresting events in one's life sound like lines from an ancient Greek tragedy. Honestly, it takes talent, as the film proves that HOW is more important than WHAT. To come again to Elisabeth Moss she is a high quality, A class actress that can play anything she likes. PS, the description "Two women who grew up together discover they have drifted apart when they retreat to a lake house together" should be revised.
