Synopsis
Marionette (2020) is a psychological thriller from director Elbert van Strien you can watch online on iFILM. Child therapist Marianne has spent years steadying troubled kids — until a silent ten-year-old named Manny lands on her couch.
Manny barely speaks. He draws instead, and whatever ends up on the page soon happens for real. These are not sweet childhood doodles but bleak, precise scenarios in which Marianne starts to look less like the doctor and more like a puppet on a string. The harder she tries to explain him away, the faster her grip on reality slips. Thekla Reuten anchors it as a rationalist watching her certainties crack.
Shot around Edinburgh as a UK–Luxembourg–Netherlands co-production, the film trades jump scares for slow dread and one nagging question: who is really pulling the strings? Built for viewers who like their thrillers as puzzles. Stream Marionette (2020) online on iFILM.
