maggie_sotos 's review for:
Night Film
by Marisha Pessl
Ugh this was such a swing and a miss! I loved the world building and the interior references to Cordova films -- it was such an amazing setup! The author gave themselves so many gifts early on, but it just sort of ... deflected.
I was really wanting this story to have some mind-blowing mysterious reveal but dang, it was just sort of a deflation. Our hero was somewhat underwhelming, the fellow detectives were bizzare McGuffins, and the pacing was just disappointingly slow.
Womp womp.
