Film: Lovely Molly


Molly (Gretchen Lodge) and Tim (Johnny Lewis) decide to move into the long-time vacant house where Molly grew up, unaware that this would bring back forgotten memories of traumatic events.

Former drug user Molly begins to experience some strange feelings in the house and she is particularly vulnerable while Tim is away working. As her behaviour becomes more and more erratic she finds herself in trouble at work and begins to seek solace in the drugs she battled to quit.

Gretchen Lodge delivers a fantastic performance as the woman attempting to forget past demons but struggling to stay on an even keel. If only they hadn’t bothered with the “spooky” element this would have been so much better.

Lovely Molly is available on DVD in the UK from 22nd October 2012.

Ric’s Rating: Good.

  1. So, paranormal elements that weren't needed?

  2. Didn't like it at all. Thought it got lost in its own weirdness at some point.

  3. I've been seeing this film advertised everywhere! Good to finally find a review of it, may check it out, if only to see Lodge's performance.
