Time Was

Synopsis:

Beth’s new house is supposed to be a fresh start, but eerie disturbances make it feel anything but home. Then she meets Melissa—an alluring designer who offers her help. As they work together, Beth finds herself drawn to her in ways she can’t explain. But as strange events intensify, so do Beth’s doubts. Is she losing her grip on reality, or is something far more unexplainable at play?

Quick Thoughts:

I’m not sure how to view “Time Was”. I did not dislike the film, but overall my biggest issue was that I simply got bored waiting for anything to happen. You ascertain early on what’s happening with the supernatural element, but it gets dragged out so long that even that becomes uninteresting. I think with some drastic editing, this could have been more interesting. But I leave it for you to watch it and decide. But it at least is a queer holiday film as it leads up to Christmas itself.
