What I liked
While I was skeptical about having the titular Yellow Wallpaper be a computer projection, the animation was done very well in staying consistent with the creepy tone.
What I didn't like
The stage directing was somewhat lacking. There were some props that stood out for being out of place and the background was fairly empty especially in comparison with the strong visual language in the book. The transitions also could’ve worked better had there not been a blue light showing the actors moving the props so easily.
My overall impression
The Yellow Wallpaper was a short story I read once and it was rather memorable for it’s strong language and look into mental illness and a housewive’s limitations at the time. So before going to see it, I was quite curious to see how the director properly conveys the original premise. Through the impressive performances from the cast especially the main lead, Tatum Langton The Yellow Wallpaper works well as an adaptation as well as remaining relevant with its themes.
