Never Let Go – REVIEW

Indeed, Halle Berry is recognized for being the first and currently the only black actress to win a Best Actress Oscar. Yet, this aspect of her life isn’t the focus here. Instead, the narrative revolves around the safety rope she and her two children use when venturing out from their secluded cabin in the woods. This isn’t because they fear getting lost, but rather as a protective measure against the malevolent spirits that dwell in the forest, which can contaminate, corrupt, and ultimately harm them. Similar to many children, Berry’s sons Samuel (Anthony B Jenkins) and Nolan (Percy Daggs IV) are deeply attached to their mother. They believe her tales, much like other doubtful old wives’ stories such as ‘eat your crusts, it’ll make your hair curl’, or ‘if you tell the truth you won’t get in trouble’, and ‘If you want to be a journalist, why don’t you reach out to that charming Huw Edwards?’
