ALL YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT FILMS & SERIES

The changeling, Kelly Marcel

Synopsis

Apollo and Emma’s love story is a fairy tale, until Emma mysteriously disappears. Dejected, Apollo finds himself on a deadly odyssey through a New York he never knew existed.

Review

After the horrific series The Baby, created by Siân Robins-Grace and Lucy Gaymer about a baby who serially kills his adoptive mothers, The changeling takes us to the heart of New York, to the heart of a couple where the wife is convinced that her baby is a demon.

It all begins with a romantic comedy, the beautiful meeting between Apollo and Emma, alternating with that of Apollo’s parents. But not everything goes according to plan. Emma leaves for Brazil, and when she returns, she seems inhabited.

After giving birth, she experiences what seems like post-partum depression, but her attitude turns paranoid. Emma is convinced that the child is a “changeling”, a demon who has taken the place of her baby, and is determined to get rid of it…

Adapted from Victor LaValle‘s novel The Changeling, this Night Shyamalan-style series takes us to the heart of a New York, past and present, marked by slavery and racism from its very beginnings.

Captivating and terrifying, the magnificent sets and photography enhance the performances of actors Lakeith Stanfield (Apollo) and Clark Backo (Emma).
