---

This is a film that never seems to get started. As it builds up to a certain degree of what’s the worst that could happen. Which adds a certain comedic paranoia. Though it feels like it drops the ball.

As it seems to take It’s Time to get the audience excited and ready, by the end it gets to its conclusion it feels like much ado about nothing. Making. It feels like most of the movie was a tease with an unsatisfying ending.

It might have been better as a short or an episode of an anthology. So it could get to the point. At least have a stronger ending.

As for the need, it feels more like a film that tries to tie in feminism and witchcraft. Where recipes seem to be the spells and an offering. 

It never feels like a thriller or horror. Though it has elements of each. In the end, it feels more like a drama. That tries to have some mood of THE BEAR mixed in with what might be some supernatural elements. 

The one strong thing about this film is the lead role played by Oscar Winner Ariana DeBose. One only wishes the film and script could be as strong as she is throughout. 

Grade: D
