Watch Krisha For Free

Perfect cast and a good story

Instant Favorite.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Garbage in the purest sense of the word. Watching this tremendously dysfunctional garbage would be like watching someone being hanged. WHY, in Gods name, would anyone want to watch this? A movie should bring you happiness, fear, enlightenment, excitement, etc. etc. Watching this movie just makes you want to take a hot shower so you can just get if off of you. I have NO Idea how anyone could watch this ugliness and rate it higher than a 3...at most. To each his own, I guess, but take my word for it and skip this mess. It's not worth one minute of your time.

Trey Edward Shults' feature film debut is a competently crafted drama that's brought to life out of almost nothing. It very much feels like a homemade video made during a family gathering, and the casual set of events that unfold in the movie only add more authenticity to it.Krisha tells the story of its titular character, an elderly woman with a troubled history who returns to her family on Thanksgiving as a reformed lady after being estranged from them for many years. But demons from her past threaten to ruin the family reunion and her own self-improved image.Written, directed & edited by Trey Edward Shults, Krisha instils a sense of foreboding from its very first frame and while it takes plenty of time to set up the whole premise, there is something sinister brewing beneath the surface at all times, and Shults is able to keep that aura alive throughout the runtime.There are plenty of long takes here, capturing casual conversations & stuff that one would expect in a social gathering yet each scene brims with a feeling that something could go wrong anytime. Performances are no slouch as Krisha Fairchild plays the eponymous old lady brilliantly and is nicely supported by others.On an overall scale, Krisha is well-crafted & firmly told but Shults takes a tad too long to switch to next gear and much of the earlier excitement fizzles away by the time earlier wounds open again. It's a good effort for a first feature and bit experimental as well but Krisha as a whole fails to leave a memorable impression. Worth a shot anyway.

I admit it, too raw and intimate for me. The accompanying soundtrack makes it feel like a horror film. Which, in many ways, it is. And I hate horror films. It is a dysfunctional family drama set during Thanksgiving in Texas, after all. I feel like horror films work because they are detached from reality enough for us to, well, not walk out of the theater feeling depressed. This was a real life horror film. It definitely took an original approach to a genre film. Almost every scene has palpable tension. Atmosphere is on point. I found it difficult to be completely invested in the film. Well made, I can agree. But not my type of film.

This is not going anywhere. Annoying music, annoying people. Very superficial acting. Nothing looks professionally done. You can make a home movie of your own Thanksgiving dinner, it should be better. 5 minutes of watching would have been enough, I pushed to 40 and I still regret that decision. I give a 1 for the good looking dogs. So we get the trick : raise $14K online, film your own family at Thanksgiving dinner in your parent's house, spend the money on the dinner, cigarettes and booze, there we are : you've become a filmmaker. Next time clean the house too, raise $100 more for a maid. Even difficult to write 10 lines for IMDb. End of it.
