Film Review – You Won’t Be Alone

“You Won’t Be Alone” is being sold as a horror experience, but it’s not exactly that. It’s more Brothers Grimm than terrifying, with writer/director Goran Stolevski attempting to rework the tensions of a dark fairy tale, focusing on an uneasy tone of discovery mixed with visual and aural poetry commonly found in a Terrence Malick endeavor. There are twisted events that occur in the feature, but Stolevski appears to be on the hunt for clarity in cruel experiences, detailing the odyssey of a cursed woman as she takes on many forms, trying to wrap her mind around the essence of life itself. “You Won’t Be Alone” is unusual and atmospheric, and it finds a fresh way to approach the dangers of evil, offering an episodic understanding of a strange education, where barbarity and beauty coexist in the weirdest ways.
