## Caption

When I saw that one of my favorite books — “Eileen” by Ottessa Moshfegh — was being made into a movie I was eager to see her inner monologue and the strange relationships that she made on the movie screen. But the movie sadly did not give me any of the thoughtfulness I was looking for, which really made the book so compelling.

Actress Thomasin McKenzie was a good fit for the role of main character Eileen Dunlop because she has conventionally unattractive physical features and odd mannerisms as described in the book. But I cringed at her poor acting in certain scenes where she was supposed to act “crazy.” Instead these scenes came off as forced and meek.

The movie also did not portray the same feeling of interest that got me hooked on the book. You can get a much better grasp of her atypical character through reading the book because she narrates it herself and you can tell what’s going on better. But in the movie it’s more difficult to understand her motives and therefore appreciate her as a character.
