Clock Review: Dianna Agron Leads Insightful, Uneven Psychological Horror

A movie that hits close to reality.

There is no better time for Clock to come out. With government officials threatening and, in some cases, successfully repressing women's bodily anatomy, a horror about a woman pressured into being a mother could not be more relevant.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT This film has a compelling and impactful backstory for why Ella is pressured. Society assumes that a career woman is negligent and selfish for rejecting motherhood. As a Jewish woman, she is made to feel obligated to pass down the faith as Judaism is matrilineal. In addition, Ella’s father impresses upon her the importance of honoring the lives lost during the Holocaust.

Despite having a well-defined conceit, the film struggles with defining Ella. In more ways than one, she is a hollow avatar for the average working woman who has found success and fulfillment outside of children. She is hardly shown to have any connections outside the toxic ones, and her happy marriage is only seen through moments of stress and anxiety. We aren’t given the time to sit in the happy moments.
