Many viewers will be hanging on just to see if they were correct or not, and even if they haven’t figured it all out, they will likely have part of it correct.Ĭharlie’s mother makes a couple of brief appearances, and her role is clearly to further traumatize Charlie. The worst part about that wait is it is fairly predictable about twenty minutes before it is put out there. For such a short runtime, this film feels far longer than it should, which is in part due to the messy dialogue, but also in part because viewers have to wait until the final few minutes for the big reveal. Bennett is the writer here, so it is unclear how much of this is from the pages of the script and how much of it changed and evolved while filming.

That said, the dialogue has a hard time bringing Alone With You to its full potential.

The longer the movie goes on the more unwound she gets, which can be seen in her mannerisms, her eyes, and even her outfits. This movie is Bennett’s to carry, and she does a great job as Charlie.
Sprinkled throughout the story she has others share the screen with her - her girlfriend, a friend, and her mother (both the latter are seen only through video chat). The camera is almost always focused on her, as she is in literally every scene of the movie. I don’t want to say that perhaps she bit off more than she can chew, because Bennett clearly shines throughout this less than 90 minute long film. What follows is an intense thrilled that is taken to the next level but its visuals and lead performance, but pulled back down because of pacing issues, predictability, and poor dialogue.Īlone With You doesn’t just star Emily Bennett, she is also the writer and director - and herein lies the problem. As time goes on things start to get very weird, very dark, and very creepy. This movie starts off with Charlie (Emily Bennett) getting ready to celebrate her anniversary with her girlfriend, Simone (Emma Myles), who is returning from a business trip. Clocking in at just under ninety minutes, it is a quick watch, and something that fans of the genre are sure to appreciate for several reasons. It is visually stunning, suspenseful, and has a great story at the core of it all. Alone With You is an intense thriller that despite its short runtime, feels like it waits far too long for the big reveal.Īlone With You is an intense thriller that, despite its several faults, is a brilliant work of art.
