Definitely shades of Coens and Lynch here but it's still very much it's own thing! Weird, funny, violent, stylish but not without genuine emotion either. I really loved the way this movie was edited. Some really crazy moments that spit in the face of the idea that editing should be "invisible." Also this has some of the best "character designs" I've seen in a live action film. I guess that's mostly because it's based on a manga but you can…
A horny, tense, heartfelt and absolutely batshit crime thriller that feels like someone put Bound, Titane and an eighties DePalma flick into a blender! Kristen Stewart is fantastic and this is a star making role for Katy O'Brian while Ed Harris is fantastically creepy basically playing a David Lynch villain. The cinematography is wonderfully grimy and sweaty and both the synth score and soundtrack are fantastic. I think this is the first time I've heard a Throbbing Gristle needle drop in a film! Also the ending is insane with one moment causing me to literally scream "oh my God! Holy shit!" out loud in the theater.
