Could get lost in Annapurna Sriram’s eyes, mind and music taste. Rarely does a debut film emerge this wholly and vibrantly realized. In an era where just the act of independent filmmaking is punk rock, Fucktoys is a transcendent cold shower for the drab and fascist hellscape your overlords want you to rot in.
Trashtown, U.S.A. is sort of a dream, sort of a nightmare, sexy, sweaty, surreal, a festering America full of freaks and floosies where no one is invisible. Idk, if you don’t get it maybe you’re part of the problem?

Put her in lingerie under a sheet and she shines. This was a nice departure from her tried and true…
