Director Charlotte Colbert has often explored physical and psychological trauma in her artwork. The movie follows Veronica, played by Alice Krige, a former child star who had just had a double mastectomy and who is repressing mental wounds under a caustic British exterior.
The film is a superbly crafted, thematically rich fable that administers a potent dose of #MeToo vengeance. It’s a film that doesn't always succeed in pulling off the marriage between symbolism and plot. Still, Colbert excels in turning this kettle of plot strands, art and gothic horror into a story of female empowerment, where the strength that the women find comes not through revenge, but through collective understanding.
”She Will” is directed by Charlotte Colbert and produced by the UK’s Popcorn Group.
