A dark and disturbing adaptation of Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s controversial gothic feminist horror story about patriarchy and hysteria. Jane, a writer and young mother, is prescribed a rest treatment by her physician husband John, who takes her to a remote country estate for the summer. She becomes obsessed with the peculiar yellow wallpaper in the bedroom he has chosen for her. In her isolation, she secretly writes about a woman trapped in the wallpaper—that she must free.

it isn’t the most accurate to the short story, and i’ve caught some cultural/historical inaccuracies, however, it truly does capture the eerie lingering feeling when indulging in the story. the patriarchy, postpartum depression, and the overwhelming reminder that you do not get a voice are all very horrifying factors that would send anyone into a psychosis!! it’s unsettling, especially with how monotonous and dull some of the dialogue is from other characters (it makes sense for jane, not so much everyone else), but perhaps that was the intention. 

jane throwing the crying baby out the window had me howling, even though it’s meant to be upsetting. i feel like it’s an accurate representation of what most mothers feel like after giving birth— feeling disconnected, crazy, and overall, not like themselves— and god forbid they try to get back to who they once were because the most important thing they can ever do is just be a mother. how dare they think they could ever be more than that?

overall: boring, not at all as good as the short story but not TERRIBLE. the baby getting chucked out the buggy absolutely sent me. i wish tubi had a 2x speed button. could’ve saved me sm time.

experience: watched this while studying for my history exam and eating my lunch. the girl sitting behind me watched half of this movie too (shoutout). pb&j w honey on artesano bread, carrots, hummus, a zero sugar dr pepper, and some freeze dried fruit. there were a lot of people in here studying and i didn’t like it very much. it’s finals
season tho. 6/10
