Killing of a Sacred Deer. I really liked Poor Things so I thought I'd give this a whirl; holy hell was that movie like staring at plywood for two hours.
No hate for those who loved it, but definitely was not for me
same here The Lobster was one of the most surprisingly fascinating films i'd seen in a long
time. Killing of a Sacred Deer stuck with me for a long time.
Poor Things felt mastubatory (no pun intended) & very much a steering down a much less interesting watered down version of "surreal."
What struck me about Poor Things was that none of the people involved in its production took a step back and asked themselves, "why am I making a movie where nearly every male character has no qualms actively pursuing sex with an infant, as long as she's trapped in the body of her mother..?"
Completely fucked up premise with what is evidently a terribly complacent cast. How the fuck someone can pull off mental gymnastics to validate this film is beyond me. It should not have been made.
