Comments:
“While Pollen excels in many respects, it is not without flaws. The end of the film, in particular, seems somewhat disappointing. After creating tension and suspense throughout its execution, the resolution falls short of the viewer’s expectations. While it leaves room for interpretation, it also leaves a sense of dissatisfaction, as if the story’s potential hasn’t been fully realized. Caillou Pettis Movie Reviews
“Maybe the story would have sounded great on paper, but due to horrible execution, the desired outcome never comes out in the end. Pollen is sometimes absurd, for lack of a better word, and it is never able to inspire a viewer to invest in its story. The issues the film is trying to raise are very serious in nature, and we wish the execution was strong enough as well…” DMT
