As a seasoned gamer and movie enthusiast with a soft spot for strong female characters, I’ve been following Sadie Sink’s career with keen interest ever since she joined the Stranger Things cast. Her portrayal of Max has undeniably left an indelible mark on the sci-fi world, and I was eagerly anticipating her new Netflix movie, A Sacrifice.
As a diehard Stranger Things fan, I’m eagerly anticipating Season 5, but before that, I can’t wait to see Sadie Sink shine in her upcoming Netflix movie, “A Sacrifice.” This film marks a significant departure from the sci-fi realm of the Upside Down, offering a fresh perspective.
Following her notable performance as Max in Stranger Things Season 2, Sadie Sink has swiftly risen to prominence within the Stranger Things ensemble, appearing in both critically acclaimed films (earning Oscars) and popular Netflix horror series.
2024 found me captivated by a groundbreaking film where I played a pivotal role. This cinematic masterpiece delved into the seductive nature of cults, shedding light on how the human psyche can be subtly manipulated to embrace a belief system – even when one’s own father is an authority on the subject.
If you haven’t had a chance yet, you may have missed out on Sink’s latest movie that was released in June. Here’s a brief overview of the film and instructions on how to catch it right away.
What is A Sacrifice about?
An Offering chronicles the journey of American expatriate and psychologist Ben, who endeavors to free his daughter from the clutches of the cult she’s been inducted into.
As Ben (Eric Bana) relocates to Berlin for cult research, he takes his teenage daughter Mazzy (Sadie Sink) along. However, as Ben gets engrossed in his work, Mazzy grapples with her identity and develops an intrigue towards the enigmatic Martin.
Martin presents her with a lively crowd of pals who govern themselves, and Ben learns that his work and personal life start blending excessively, leading him to rescue his child from the cult before it’s past saving.
The movie adaption of the 2015 novel “Tokyo” by Nicholas Hogg has been shifted from its original setting to Berlin instead.
Is it any good?
Perhaps it’s best to wait for another appearance of Sadie Sink in Stranger Things, since the movie “A Sacrifice” currently holds a low rating of 25% on Rotten Tomatoes.
As a gamer, I’ve got to say, the buzz about this movie doesn’t seem too exciting. The Popcornmeter score is just 35%, which isn’t exactly a high-scoring level in my book. And from what I’ve heard, most reviews are on the critical side, with folks calling it dull and predictable – not exactly the thrilling quest I was hoping for.
Variety’s critique states that ‘A Sacrifice’ seems to be a typical plot setup for a pulpy genre, which gradually veers into abstract ideas, yet lacks the enigmatic depth required to make it more engaging.
RogerEbert.com’s critique can be rephrased as: “The movie isn’t terribly bad, but rather incredibly unmemorable – a type of film where you struggle to recall its name, even while watching it.
Regarding public feedback, the ratings are generally quite low, averaging at 2.3 stars. One comment reads, “The only thing I had to endure was finishing it.
How to watch A Sacrifice
The only way to watch A Sacrifice is on Netflix.
Obviously, this is where Sink’s biggest role to date – Max in Stranger Things – also lives.
