an insipid piece of filmmaking that contains so little originality that i walked away floored that the ending could be as obvious as it was. it borrows its plot and tone from parasite, and removes that film's suspense and nuanced political messaging until only a vacant, empty frame remains. every shot, composition, and moment of attempted trangression felt like the film was built in service of broader cultural circulation rather than any kind of genuine investment in what the images…

liked a fair bit…some weird acting (jerrod carmichael????) but emma stone nailed it, an adult acting like a baby is never not infuriating and thankfully as she stops doing it you stop resenting her…
this is another crazy discourse movie…i think the de-eroticization of sex and pleasure dulls any argument that there is a championing of her sex work as empowering, i read it more as a matter of fact means of survival. i also don’t think the script fully…
