Review of Sharp Objects: Amy Adams Stars in the Atmospheric Series



[ad_1]

The last limited edition of HBO, Sharp Objects is simply the summer programming event.

Amy Adams takes on the role of Camille Preaker, a journalist from St. Louis, who is rushed to cover the murder of a pre-teen girl in Wind Gap, Mo., the less idyllic little town where she is born – and where, we quickly realize in this striking series of atmospheres, she suffered a trauma that left her barely alcoholic functioning with dissociative problems (and worse). Each new detail triggers a discordant flashback linking its terrible past to the foul underworld of Wind Gap.

Objects is adapted from the novel 2006 by Gone Girl Author Gillian Flynn and directed by Jean-Marc Vallée, the man responsible for Big Little Lies [19459006andonceagainitcreatesaterriblyambiguoussenseofindirectionaswellasrepressedpsychologicalforcesthatinfiltrateandspreadlikeastainonaplasterceiling

Adams puts the accent on Camille's curiosity – she's a mess, but focused – while Patricia Clarkson has a wilting greatness as her patronizing and infinitely hostile mother: She's like a flower arrangement that could benefit of a change of water.

Make sure you keep an eye on the most mysterious character of the show, Camille's weird half-sister, Amma, played by Australian actress Eliza Scanlen. At home, Amma pretends an innocence close to the precious, as if she had spent too much time at the American Girl Outlet. Back in town, she is rebellious. Scanlen, a 19-year-old from Perth known in Australia for the soap opera Home and Away Sews these halves with perhaps a point from Twin Peaks .

Sharp Objects premiered on Sunday, July 8th at 9pm on HBO.
