Adapting a play into a film is no easy task. Something that can be so intimate onstage may not always translate well onscreen. But the way in which director Guillem Morales interprets Morgan Lloyd Malcolms material in The Wasp a script Malcolm adapted herself is truly transcendent. Naomie Harris and Natalie Dormer give awards-worthy performances, trusting each other and the filmmakers to deliver intense, nail-biting portrayals of characters who are each deserving of sympathy. I didnt really know what to expect from The Wasp, but I can say the less you know about its plot, the better.
