I actually liked this film. But who the hell was in charge of the music? The constant banging of bongos throughout almost made me give up halfway through.
This film could've been so much better with the right tone of music to go alongside the well shot and aesthetically pleasing scenes. The plot was predictable but still had me wanting to see it play out.
I always like the combination of dark comedy and thriller genres, some of the best recent thrillers have an element of humour and Clawfoot has clearly taken inspiration from this
Lead actress was great and would love to see her in more.
But please, fire the bongo guy.

Fire the bongo dude
Heightened reality black comedy/thriller
If you can get on this movie's bizarre and other-worldly wavelength, I think Clawfoot has a lot to offer.
A movie split in two halves, where the first features a lot of set up. The second half paying it off quite well. The plot is good, but where the movie shines is in its directing, featuring a heightened reality, including unrealistic dialogue and conversations. But that is how this quaint and oddball reality is, and you just gotta go with it. It won't work for everyone, but it worked for me.
I highly recommend checking out Clawfoot, and I hope it finds an audience. Francesca Eastwood is excellent and seriously needs to be in more. She carries the movie, and the rest of the cast is also fantastic.
